For an easy, rib-sticking good meal, serve beans with this Slow Roasted BBQ Pork.

This easy green bean recipe is a family favorite. It is one of the easiest side dishes to make and the most delicious to eat. As you can see, I am not partial at all 😉 

This is a recipe that I got from my mother-in-law. She used to serve it practically every Sunday dinner at her. At times, there were eight of us at the table, and we ALL loved it! Over the years, they became a staple in my home as well. 

If you’re looking for an easy side dish that will please everyone, these green beans are what you need. They are perfect for a family dinner or the holidays. This dish is a staple at our Thanksgiving, Christmas, and pretty much every special occasion meal. If it is not made, I will hear about it!
