So-So
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

They taste exactly like you'd expect. A green bean covered in fried batter. I wouldnt go out of my way to make them again.

Tasty...but needs more batter.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

All in all this recipe is pretty good. But, I felt that the better needed to be a little thicker. So I just made my batter... thicker and the rest is history. Yummy greenbeans!Read more

Had problems with this receipe
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

It was easy enough to make the batter, but the green beans stuck to the bottom of the deep frier. They never came up to the... top when they were cooked. So most of the batter got stuck on the frier basket.Read more

Greasy & Heavly
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I love fried green beans but this was verly heavy and greasy. I think it may be better if a light breading is used. My... family normally loves your dishes but not this time. SorryRead more

Better Than TGIF's Fried Green Beans!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We love the TGIF brand fried green beans we get at Sam's or Costco, but they are a little expensive. I got really excited... when the Neelys made these. The Neelys recipe is even better! I tried a few broccoli flowerets and they worked great! Next time I will try cauliflower! Use your imagination. I might even try shrimp!Read more
