For my selection I am posting my  recipe for quick country style green beans using canned beans. I prefer flat Italian style canned beans in this. You may more easily find those in the Italian section if not shelved with other cans of green beans.

It’s pretty much just a doctored recipe and is what I do. I might also use other types of canned beans, frozen beans or fresh. Usually all summer long I buy fresh.

Very easy to fix up, you can make this a perfect side for any  homestyle meal.
