I cooked these beans on top of the stove. I found that there was plenty of sauce so I served the it on a bed of spiral pasta with grilled ham steaks. This is a very nice way to cook beans. In fact I think that this recipe could be used as a main course with pasta and lots of cheese. A definite keeper. A tasty dish indeed. :-) Thank you...

I absolutely LOVED this recipe! I used frozen green beans (French style). I used olive oil instead of butter, and I only had one can of tomatoes, so i subbed one 8-oz can of tomato sauce for the other. Family loved it! It's a keeper for sure. :)

We didn't care for this recipe.

This is pretty much identical to a recipe I created, except I don't use butter or flour. I'm always asked for the recipe.
