Parmesan Garlic Green Beans

Pin It
These were a quick and easy side dish that I made one night on a whim. I always serve a vegetable with dinner, whether it be a salad, a can of corn or something homemade. I always grew up having at least one "green thing" on the table, and I continue to do that to this day.

Chris usually just likes the main entree part of the meal and sticks to that, but I think it's important that we both have our fair share of vegetables (such a mom thing to say, isn't it?). Including flavors that we like makes these healthy side dishes a little more tolerable, so adding Parmesan cheese and garlic to plain ol' green beans really took them up a notch. And it was easy, too. Enjoy!

Cook green beans according to directions on the bag.
