I sauté green beans in butter, fresh garlic, garlic powder, salt and pepper (heavy on the pepper) until they are mostly wilted, but still have a little crunch. The only way my ten year old will eat them
Also I chop a pound of bacon, cook it, add in fresh green beans, garlic, salt, pepper and sometimes slap ya mama, (in the bacon grease) add chopped red potatoes and let cook down until the potatoes are done. Most of the time I add a cup -1.5 cups beef broth (depending on how big a pot I’m making)
