I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars. The beans were good, but not great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the beans turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The beans were a bit overcooked, but the dilly sauce was delicious.

These beans were a little too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These beans were easy to make and turned out great. I added a little extra dill to the sauce, and it was perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of green beans, but these were really good. The dilly sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the beans were cooked just right.
