Whenever I cook, I always try to serve vegetables next to the dishes. And I pay attention to what my kids like.
This is how I came to such a delicious green bean side dish, which is not just prepared in a jiffy, it tastes damn good.
You can use frozen or fresh beans for this bean side dish. I like to use frozen ones.
I'm always happy when things go fast and I do not have to cut and wash the beans.
Especially during the week, when it's stressful anyway, I'm really happy when I do not have to stand in the kitchen for hours.

How long do green beans have to cook until they are cooked?
If you cook the green beans instead of steaming, the green beans will take about 10-15 minutes.
Here you can add some soda to the cooking water, so the nice green color of the beans is preserved.
If you steam the green beans, it takes about 20 minutes. You get crisp green beans.
To do this, take a pot of steam and steam the green beans with the lid closed.
The stewing of the green beans takes about 15-20 minutes and is ideal if you stew onions before.
The beans are ready when they are still slightly dente.

Are green beans toxic?
Raw green beans, ie uncooked green beans such as bush beans, contain a toxic protein compound called phasin.
In the human body, this causes the red blood cells stick together. This obstructs the oxygen transport in the blood.
Consequences of this can be headache, nausea, vomiting or even diarrhea. Make sure to cook your green beans!
Storage
Can you warm up green beans again?
For one thing, you have to cook green beans completely first, so that you can eat them without danger.
Cooked beans can be easily reheated and you no longer have to worry about toxins once cooked.
Are green beans healthy?
Cooked green beans are very healthy. Not only are they low in calories, they are fat and cholesterol free.
Green beans have many minerals, vitamins and trace elements. In particular, potassium, zinc, magnesium, vitamins C and B, as well as a high fiber content and is a good source of protein.
Thus, green beans are perfect as a soup, side dish or salad. You can integrate green beans in different dishes.

I want to make this dish in a 9?13 glass casserole dish. How many times do I need to multiply this recipe for this serving size?
Jasmin says
I would use 2lbs green beans. Hope that helps. Multiple it with 4. That should work.
