Italian Green Beans

Servings: 6-8

You’ll need:
2 cans green beans (drained)
1/2 medium onion (chopped)
1 Tbsp. garlic (minced)
1/4 c. Romano cheese (grated)
1/2 c. Italian bread crumbs
1 tsp. ground black pepper
Olive oil
Buttery cooking spray

Preheat oven at 350 degrees.

Saute onions and garlic in 2 Tbsp. olive oil on medium heat, until onions are transparent. Stir in green beans, black pepper, 1/8 cup of the Romano cheese and 1/4 cup of the Italian bread crumbs.

In a 1 quart casserole dish spray inside with cooking spray. Add breaded green bean mixture and make level with a spatula. Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes until thoroughly heated.

Sprinkle on remainder of Romano cheese and Italian bread crumbs and drizzle with olive oil or spray topping with cooking spray.

Bake an additional 5-10 minutes until topping is browned. Serve immediately or cover to keep warm until ready to serve as a side dish.

​Karen’s Note: This is a family favorite and always our side dish served on Thanksgiving with Frank’s Smoked Turkey and other meat dishes during the holidays.
