Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
• 1 cube beef bouillon
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen whole green beans

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook until onions start to look soft and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Cut a couple of slits in the green bean bag and microwave on high power until beans are a bit defrosted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and pour the beans into the skillet.

Step 3

Crumble bouillon cube into the skillet and mix everything together. Turn the temperature down a bit and let the mixture cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in water and mix until any remaining bouillon has dissolved. Cover and steam, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and as crunchy or limp as you like them; you will need to taste them to determine when they are done.

Step 4

Remove the lid and increase temperature to high to cook off any remaining liquid. Serve immediately.
