I make a recipe just like this that my mother taught me except she used green beans that she picked in her garden and canned. I use canned green beans from store. - 10/20/17

I completely missed the part where you are supposed to simmer it with water for 45 minutes. I had already omitted the potatoes.. and the dish still came out wonderful. Crunchy sauteed green beans with onions.. delicious! - 1/7/12
