1 1-lb can(s) cut green beans
2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt

Tips:

  • Trim the green beans before cooking: Remove the tough ends of the green beans and any strings that may be present. This will help the beans cook evenly and make them more enjoyable to eat.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and nutrients. It also helps to remove any bitterness from the beans.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: The Pennsylvania Dutch green beans recipe is simple, but you can add a variety of seasonings to taste. Common additions include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and bacon.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of green beans you are using. Cook the beans until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
