  1. Toss anything in sour cream and it's sure to be a hit. These green beans are awesome! The best part is that it's only a handful of ingredients. I can't recommend it enough...especially if you're the biggest fan of green beans.
     
  2. This was an interesting way to prepare green beans. The sour cream didn't cling to my beans as well as in the photos, but it was delicious none the less. For Culinary Quest.
     
  3. These beans had lots of flavor even though there were not many ingredients. I used the sour cream option, and cooked the onions in garlic infused olive oil instead of the butter. Also, I added some salt and fresh cracked black pepper. **Made for Susie's World Tour 2018**
     
  4. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed these! The flavors come together so nicely. Thanks for sharing....made for Susie's World Tour 2018.

  5. These are so much greater than the sum of the ingredients and I thoroughly enjoyed them! DH is not a fan of sour cream so after the beans were cooked I just set his boring old beans aside and carried on with the recipe. I will be making these again. Thanks for posting!
