Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8x8 casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat a large pot with a vegetable steamer and a few inches of water in it. Add the trimmed and cut green beans. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the green beans are tender, but still slightly al dente. They will continue to cook in the casserole.
