For the first time since I started using allrecipes, I am completely unimpressed by a recipe I chose... Partially because I didn't have a lot of time to find a recipe, so I didn't do the proper research. This recipe called for far too much butter, and I used a quality Italian dressing but still the flavor was horrible. The beans were practically burnt after 15 minutes. This recipe needed more liquid and less butter. I will not make it again. The only reason I give it two stars is that my husband actually did like it.

These beans are shocking because they look like regular green beans but then they taste almost sour because you're not expecting it. To be fair, it may have been bad because I used Light Italian dressing...but I will not make this again.

took a LONG time to cook, and had a vinegar-y taste in the end. Maybe it was the dressing I used - Kraft fat-free italian.

This was a big hit served at a home bible study pot-luck. It ended up being served luke warm, but everyone still loved it! Added about 1/4c extra onion and deseeded the tomatoes. Will make it again!

Wishbone Bountifuls lends itself REALLY well to this recipe with big chunks of veggies. 25 minutes overcooked mine, but the second time i cooked until tender-crisp :)

I'm sorry, I just didn't like this recipe and neither did my family. I had read the other reviews so I decided to cut the butter and dressing in half. They still came out very oily.

this recipe is just to over done.first it is cooked way to long and with tons more butter than is needed. I used just enough butter to saute the beans and I only cooked them for about 5 to 7 minutes , this made them crisp and didnt rob them of any flavor. Instead of adding more dressing for a stronger taste, I added 1/2 cup of chicken broth and then added mince garlic to taste I get the garlic already minced in the jar at the store. makes it really a great dish.

Yummy! My two year old shoved these in his mouth by the handful (after I got him to actually open his mouth and taste them). I used drained, canned green beans because they were on hand and about half the butter. After bringing them to a boil, I just let them simmer, while I prepared the rest of our dinner. I will definitley make again. Hey, whatever it takes to make my two year old to eat something green!

Calls for too much butter. Other than that pretty good.

Ehh. Edible but I wouldn't say it was "good". It was just what the recipe says...beans, butter and dressing. Nothing special.
