Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds green beans
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes cut in half

Instructions

  1. Cook beans in water, until tender.

  2. In a skillet, melt butter and add garlic salt, sugar, basil, salt, and pepper.

  3. Swish cherry tomato halves around until barely soft and heated, but not squishy.

  4. Add the drained beans and mix well.

Recipe Notes

TO SAVE TIME, you can use drained canned green beans instead of fresh green beans and canned stewed tomatoes instead of fresh cherry tomatoes. Just add the canned vegetables to the butter/basil mixture and heat through. I do this frequently and it works.
