Green Beans in Cider image

I prepared this for Thanksgiving dinner in place of the traditional but heavy green bean casserole. It has a delicious, faintly sweet flavor.

These green beans were a disappointment. They were mushy and the sauce was too sweet. I won't be making this recipe again.

These green beans were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some garlic and onion next time.
