# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
Salt & pepper, toss in as much as you like
02 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
03 -
2 tablespoons butter
04 -
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
05 -
1/3 cup water
06 -
1 pound green beans, cut off the ends
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Drop in your butter and let it melt with the beans in the skillet. Toss in garlic powder, onion powder, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything up with a couple of spoons or tongs till the beans get shiny and coated. Dish them up while they're nice and warm.
02 -
Once you’ve drained out the water, leave the beans in the pan and set it over medium. Time to amp up the flavor.
03 -
Tip out the water but don’t dump the beans. Hold the lid against the skillet and pour out all the leftover water.
04 -
With the water bubbling, throw in those trimmed green beans and pop the lid on. Let them hang out for 4 to 5 minutes—longer if you want them extra soft. Check every so often till they’re just right.
05 -
Pour the water in your skillet and crank it to medium-high. That bit of water turns into steam to cook your beans just right.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Switch up the flavor by using something like Cajun spices or seasoned salt instead
02 -
Salt and pepper straight from the grinder taste way better
03 -
Works awesome as a quick side and matches with pretty much anything
