This was great and so simple. I used the frozen tiny Haricot Verts beans so the cook time was less. I substituted chardonnay for the water. I added it to the cooked onions, garlic and sausage and let it cook down some before adding the beans. Also added some Herbes de Provence. Took this to a wine tasting and it was a hit. Thank you.

Very simply - won't make this again - I had sausage and green beans that I needed to cook up before they went bad - I chose this based on that - no one cared for this dish.

Interesting dish - but next time I'd rather chop the beans into oblivion and add them to my spaghetti.

Simply an incredible side dish!

Hmmm. Just found this kind of odd and not very tasty. I'm sorry!

This really didn't do it for me. I did take the advice of others and used beef broth instead of water, so the beans actually had a really great flavor. I just didn't like them paired with the sausage. Personal perference I suppose!

This is a very versatile recipe. I can't imagine all the creations you can come up with. I made this as the green bean dish for Thanksgiving dinner. It seemed to be liked by just about everyone. I decided to use a chicken mushroom sausage, but I definitely think I will try it with the spicy sausage next time. I might even substitute pearl onions for the chopped ones.

Great recipe. My husband who hates green beans had three helpings!

Out of this world! Tired of bland side dishes, I seached this site & found this recipe. Wow, am I pleased! Didn't have to change much. I cut this recipe in half since there is just my husband & I. I used mild sausage links & crushed garlic in a jar instead of fresh. I cooked it for 25 mins, 5 less than the recipes states. I served this with some breaded pork chops. My picky husband even liked this recipe. The little bit of leftovers I have will be good for lunch along with the leftover mashed potatoes from another night. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

I made this recipe as written and it was too greasy. i wom't make it again

This recipe is really good, my family loves it. I used canned grean beans instead of frozen and I used the liquid from the can and omitted the water. I also tryed it with bacon instead of sausage and it was good like that also.

Added some cut up baby reds and had a complete meal! Great!

This is one of my "go-to" vegetable dishes. I cook the sausage first, then saute the onion (or shallot) and garlic in the sausage fat, plus a little extra oil. Also, as as many have suggested I use beef broth instead of water and I use a healthy amount of garlic salt and pepper. I finish it by using corn starch to thicken the remaining beef broth into a rich sauce.

Green beans where great, my husband gobbled them up. I added asparagus and it turned out fine. Will definatly do this again.

very good. made just as written

I made this recipe with the meat of choice being Jimmy Dean's spicy sausage. The only exception was to add some mushrooms which were sauted with the onions and garlic. I gave this five stars because my wife raved about how good the green beans were. I thought it's one of the best ways to prepare green beans that I've had yet!

I'm a vegetarian, but this is one dish that I really miss from childhood. I decided to try this recipe using Boca brand vegetarian smoked sausage. I cooked it just like the recipe said, and it was fantastic! I only had about one pound of beans, so I halved the recipe and used two sausage links. Even if you're not a vegetarian, this is a great way to cut back on fat and calories. Thanks for the great recipe!

For a green bean dish this was very good. We used a sweet brown sugared link sausage instead of a spicy one and everyone just loved it. Everyone went back for seconds. We will make again in the near future.

Very, very good recipe. I used this for a dinner for 25 and got great reviews. Very easy to make and well worth the effort! And, as an added bonus, it reheated well for the little bit of leftovers that remained.

I have been making this recipe for the past two years for thanksgiving. Only I substitute chorizo sausage. It is a really big hit and I get asked to make it each time.
