I like Pioneer Woman.  Ree Drummond was one of the reasons I was attracted to blogging.  She is a talented woman and a caring mom.  Her site is terrific.  I bow down to her.

I try many of her recipes.  I cannot say that I would say bleh to any I have tried to this point.  Most are yummy.  She is one of my “go to” sites for tried and true yumminess.

So when I was looking for a green bean recipe, I looked to Pioneer Woman.

I started using her recipe several months ago.  It has become my most used way to cook fresh green beans.  Know that The Bearded One does not count green beans as a favorite vegetable.  He does not detest them…they are just generally…mostly…left on his plate.  Until this recipe.  Plate clean.

This is one tasty green bean side. It is relatively easy to make while you are fixing the main. It has depth of flavor and a sweet savory balance not found in many of its kind.
