Thanksgiving Green Beans image

Momma made these green beans only at Thanksgiving because, at the time, the ingredients were out of her everyday budget. Her original recipe inside her recipe box had five stars drawn on it. I would have to agree! -Marcia Shires, San Antonio, Texas

I thought this recipe was just okay. The green beans were a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too thick.

The green beans were a bit too al dente for my taste, but the sauce was delicious.
