I got this Cajun-Style Green Beans recipe from a friend that says she’s been making it for close to ten years now.
I gave it a trial run and as far as I’m concerned it will be on my table from now on!
I just love it when I try a new recipe and it delivers much more than I expected.
The dijon/vinegar/tabasco sauce is fantastic, great with the beans and salty bacon. This is an absolutely delicious green bean recipe!
Give it a try!
