A very refreshing side dish. I made this dish exactly according to recipe. I would use less lemon juice.

It was very good. We didn't add the lemon juice though(didn't have any). We love fresh green beans. We mainly used the garlic, sugar, and butter. I steamed the green beans while heating up the butter sauce (butter, sugar and garlic). After the green beans were tender, I poured the butter over the beans, mixed well, then added salt and pepper. It was a HUGE hit in out house.

I should have cooked the beans for 10 minutes. Nice recipe for occasional use. I will have to play with the ingredients some more.
