I eat them a lot, mostly because it's quick to heat up while I cook or reheat something else. I don't have time to cook much during the week so if I do it has to be quick. Right now I pretty much just throw in a can of diced potatoes and some Tony's. Any suggestions on something else to do with them that doesn't take up more time?

TIA

add butter, bacon, and tonys and cook on low for a while and they actually taste pretty good.

EVOO in the frying pan. Saute a little fine chopped onion then after a few minutes add a bunch of finely chopped garlic and fry a couple minutes. Add drained French cut green beans and cook for a few minutes then add a little Vigo Italian bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for a minute or so.

With the canned beans you have, start with bacon & or bacon grease, throw in chopped trinity to saute in the fat, then throw in the drained beans and a chicken bouillon cube and a little water. Simmer a bit till done.

Next time you run out of canned beans, but still need something quick. Here are some 10 minute green beans.

First, buy a bag of this:



And a package of this (use half of the package for the green beans, diced):


Poke holes in the bag of green beans and microwave for three minutes on high.

While the beans are steaming, dice up the pancetta and then put it in a skillet and start rendering some fat:





Cut open the green beans and pour them in, even the bit of liquid that will come out of the bag. Stir them around until they get a little more wilted and get a little color. Turn off the heat and let them finish cooking for another couple minutes while you start plating everything.

Drain them and put in zip lock bag with some onion powder, lea & perrins, and brown sugar. Shake to coat. Grab 4 or 5 and roll in a half slice of bacon. Place on baking pan and in the oven at 350 until bacon crisps.

Simple, but just add some rotel tomato to it while simmering in some chicken stock...

A little bacon fat and/or ham hock, onion, Tony's/hot sauce, cook all of that in chicken broth for as long as possible. Not bad for canned beans
