I needed something different for fresh string beans and this seemed easy enough. I liked sauteeing the beans and the garlic powder was good, although I think I will use fresh diced garlic next time. My husband didn't like the flavor from the cocktail onions, I think since it's mostly vinegar! I thought it added a little punch without being overly powerful, but next time I will try the onions themselves without the liquid. Overall, we enjoyed this for a simple, but different way to eat the same old (but yummy) side dish.

Not having cocktail onions I substituted some sweet red peppers - WOW my anti-vegetable family ate the whole thing

Excellent. My husband doesn't like string beans, now he says, " are you gonna make the string beans the new way?"
