Wow - I was so pleasantly surprised by how good this combo was. I found really crisp, fresh beans & cooked them slightly longer because mine still tasted a little green. Loved the addition of the feta (didn't realize that I liked it so much). Added garlic - can't cook without it. Really felt fresh & healthy. Join us on the Recipe Exchange - N*R

We really enjoyed these! Normally, I'm not a big green bean fan, but I loved these. The feta gives them a good kick! My husband really enjoyed them too. I made them as is, but we thought that adding a little bacon to them would be fun too. I'll probably try that the next time. N*R

We actually enjoyed these quite a bit. The lemon, feta, and beans were a great flavor combination. We did add a little bit of garlic to the butter olive oil mixture, because my husband said he couldn't live without it. We will be having these again and I can't wait to try them with fresh beans from the garden. N*R

N*R I didnt' think I was going to like this, since I hate green beans, but my family likes them, and loves feta. They RAVED over it, so I tried it. Turns out, I only hate BAD green beans! These are GREAT, and how our family will fix green beans from here on out!!!

This is a great way to prepare green beans - even canned ones. I wanted to try this recipe but didn't have fresh green beans, so I substituted canned beans. Just make sure the butter and oil is really hot in the pan, then add the beans, stirring as you add the seasonings. I used garlic and herb feta cheese, and also added a dash of garlic powder - mmmmm! I can't wait to try this recipe with freash beans! Thank you for a great recipe!

We thought this was a really fresh, tasty way of making green beans. It was very simple to prepare, although I skipped a step to reduce dishes. I drained my beans and just used the pot I boiled them in to complete the dish. Excellent, THX> N*R

Superb! Loved the flavors of the fresh lemon with the feta cheese. I steamed the green beans in a bag in the microwave rather than boiling. I added some chopped garlic to the skillet with the butter and EVOO. I used the garlic herb flavored feta for added flavor. This dish will make a wonderful accent to so many different main courses. I will use this often. Thanks for sharing such a fresh and delicious recipe. N*R
