  1. Nice twist for plain green beans. I used canned diced tomatoes instead of the fresh and just omitted the water. Also added extra garlic as we love the stuff. Very good and a compliment to the meatloaf I prepared for dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. We enjoyed this, altho I forgot the vinegar :oops:, it was nonetheless a really good recipe!! next time I'll add the venegar :) I did add extra water, because I was waiting for other dishes to be ready, it just meant that the sauce had plenty of time to cook and blend. thanks, Pamela!
     
  3. We really enjoyed this recipe. I love to find different ways to make green beans, plus I like tomatoes, so a nice combination. It was slightly tangy and I enjoyed that.
