I followed the advice of 2 other reviewers... used butter and olive oil, sauted some minced garlic, the lemon pepper and basil (I used fresh and it was great)before adding the frozen beans. I think they would cook quicker with a little added liquid...

Really nice and easy weeknight recipe. I followed the advice of another review... used butter and olive oil, sauted some minced garlic, the lemon pepper and basil (I used fresh and it was great)before adding the beans. I added a little broth before covering to simmer... helped them steam really well. The family loved this recipe. And so easy!

This is delicious! We are looking forward to our garden green beans this summer, although frozen green beans worked wonderfully with this recipe too. Absolutely delicious, it was a family hit, even the baby said "mmmmm mmmm!"

Nice pop of flavor for ordinary green beans. I didn't measure, but I do know I used more than two teaspoons of butter!

I'm always looking for ways to cook my frozen veggies and this was perfect. Better than plain salt and pepper, but nothing my son wouldn't eat. I used regular cut frozen green beans and they turned out great.

An easy way to add a little extra flavor to plain green beans. I used fresh green beans and sauteed in the butter and seasonings until tender and a bit caramelized. A nice blend of flavors.

I did follow your lead, but I used green beans, basil, and lemon balm from my garden, and added a little olive oil and steamed them.

I used fresh french green beans, and instead of all margarine I used half olive oil and half margarine. I sauteed a little (one clove) finely minced garlic, then stirred in the lemon pepper and dried basil and let the flavors meld a bit before adding the beans. Tossed it all to coat and then put a lid on the pan and let them cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes, then stirred and gave them another 3 minutes on low heat. Everyone LOVED them! I will make this again, every time I get fresh beans.

Very nice change for plain green beans. Lots of flavor. This would be a great side for an italian flavored dish (garlic, tomato, basil). It didn't go as well with my mexican rice dish. Thanks, these were good.
