I usually love Rachel's recipes, but this one bombed at my house big time. I had to throw out the entire pan (I thought the kids would like it with the added sugar...but that combined with the taste of vinegar were a NO...me included. And we love green beans in every shape and form. We love trying new things...so maybe next time I'll try it w/out the red wine vinegar to see if that helps any.
If anyone has been to Cheddar's Restaurant, I'm looking for a similar green bean recipe!

Great recipe! We loved the tangy/sweet flavors and I loved how quickly it came together. We'll definitely be making this a lot this Summer!
