Savory String Beans image

I love making this dish when I can pick the beans right out of the garden and put them into the pot. The fresh taste is unbeatable. I've also made it with beans purchased at the store. Either way, you'll find this recipe a winner. There's no need for any extra seasonings at the table. -Ina Reed, Kingman, Arizona

I like my food with a little bit of a kick, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to this recipe. It gave the dish a nice spicy flavor that really complemented the other ingredients. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love garlic, so I added a few extra cloves to this recipe. It was delicious! The string beans were still slightly crunchy, which I like, and the sauce was nice and garlicky. I'll definitely be making this again.
