Deleted User	Just picked over a pound of green beans. There are thousands of recipes on the Internet, but if you have a few that you really love, please share.

The microwave shortens the time for tenderizing the beans. Microwave water in a cup until it is hot. 1 cup of beans. They have to be fresh. Baking dish deep 1 quart casserole. Microwave time at high 12 to14 minutes. Standing time 2 minutes. Wash beans and remove ends. Cut in 1 to 2 inch pieces or leave whole. Combine beans and hot water to cover. Microwave at full power until tender stirring once. Then let stand. Then drain the water. Next I put the beans in fry pan with butter or margarine. Optional. Fry some onions first. And then stir fry the beans but don't overcook. For seasoning. A bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top. You can try other seasonings. Also optional. If your diet allows it a bit of bacon in with the beans and onions. The smell while cooking is enough to get the juices flowing.
