Easy and tasty!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We thought these were great!!! Plus, they're so easy and quick to make. I added some frozen baby pearl onions (since another... reviewer suggested adding onions). Next time (and there definitely will be a next time!), I am going to add some chopped red onion. My husband is a picky eater and he said they were the best green beans he's had in a long time! Thanks, Rachael!!Read more

Micro weight beans
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This is a great way to take something that is good for you, and make it even better by adding lots of fat via the bacon and... olive oil. Way to go, Racheal, you are changing the weight America eats.Read more

FAST, Great Tasting
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought the recipe was WONDERFUL, fast and VERY tasty. I would only make one change the next time and that is to add a... little onion. But, that's my preference. The recipe in itself was MARVELOUS!Read more

AWESOME! Who knew?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was leery about frozen vegetables but tried this anyway. I needed some new veggie ideas with a picky 30 year-old. This was... soooooo easy and surprisingly tasty! My son ate a full serving of them and then promptly puked it all up. Very quick to make, almost effortless.Read more
