GREEN BEANS GRILLED IN FOIL
While grilling out, we decided to try grilling fresh green beans. After having this, we will never have green beans another way. I use my own mixture of 'silly salt' for this recipe--equal amounts of pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder, but seasoned salt works as well.
