We both love green beans, however my wife really enjoys a green bean casserole, so this is my fast and simple low calorie pseudo version for her.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 3)

• 1 can Green Giant Green Beans (60 calories)
• 2 tbsp French’s French Fries Onions (45 cal)
• Kosher salt to taste

Total calories: 60 + 45 = 105/3 = 35 calories/serving

DIRECTIONS:

1. Open and drain a can of green beans.
2. Add 1/2 of the green beans to a microwave-safe container, add a pinch of the salt and 1 tablespoon of the fried onions to the beans.
3. Add the rest of the green beans to the container, add another pinch of salt to the beans, cover, then cook in a microwave 2 1/2 minutes.
4. Remove and uncover the beans, add the remaining fried onions and cover again and let sit 2 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
