Here's one that my family just loves. It came about one night when we had "nothing good to eat" It's really simple and good. It doesn't have a fancy name or anything we just call it "meat bean casserole"

1lb browned hamburger/turkey meat
1 large can of cut green beans-drained
1 can of cream of celery soup
1 can of french fried onions
1-2 oz of shredded cheese
about a 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
Original Ms.Dash

This is all done on the stovetop..NO baking!! yay!

Brown and drain the meat
In a large skillet over a medium flame mix together the browned meat, drained green beans, cream of celery soup, about half the f/f onions, and the 1/4milk. Sprinkle the Ms. Dash over the top. Mix it together nice and good. If it looks like it needs more milk then add more, if it looks too soupy then add more onions. Heat it up for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. When everything is warm you can add more f/f onions on top if you want then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and let melt a little bit then serve. Makes 6 servings

Green Beans Marsala

My own personal recipe! I actually made it up myself!

In a Wok or large skillet, saute some chopped onion and minced garlic in olive oil, until onion is transparent. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Stir fry fresh or frozen green beans (add more oil if necessary)... you want them still crisp.

Add onion and garlic mixture back into beans during the last few seconds of stir fry.

Just before you take them off the heat, pour in a half cup or so of dry Marsala (or Saki)

Serve with sea salt.

I don't eat green beans any other way now!
