I love an easy vegetable side dish recipe, it helps me keep our meals balanced without a lot of fuss. This easy green bean recipe fits that bill, it’s no-fuss and tastes delicious. 

I kept the ingredients in this frozen green bean recipe simple so it could be a quick recipe! You can dress it up any way you want, my favorite way is to add bacon…of course. Ha! I love keeping a stash of frozen green beans in my freezer so I can throw these on when I need them.

Do I Need to Thaw Frozen Green Beans? 

Nope! No need to thaw the frozen green beans. I toss them in frozen and let the simmering water in the pan do all the work. 

The amount of time you simmer the frozen green beans will determine how crispy or soft they will turn out.

How to Saute Frozen Green Beans

The easiest way to saute frozen green beans is to bring the ingredients to a simmer in a saute pan and let all of the liquid evaporate out of the pan. 

This cooks the beans perfectly while making sure all the delicious flavor stays in the pan with the green beans.
