Guilty Good Green Beans


I came across this recipe earlier today, and decided to break out of my bean boredom and try it.  Who doesn't love another way to prepare a basic vegetable?

I was lacking a few ingredients and so played around with it a bit, but we loved it.  It's simple, quick, and full of flavor.  My family of four finished off the entire dish in one sitting - and My Wonderful Husband had three helpings!  Now, if that isn't success, I don't know what is.  This one is definitely a family keeper.

Ingredients:
2 cans of green beans, drained
1/4 Vidalia onion, diced
1/4 green bell pepper, diced
4 cloves of garlic, diced
1/6 lb. sausage, cooked and crumbled
dash of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c. cheddar cheese

1.  Carmelize the onion, pepper, and garlic in the olive oil.  Add cooked sausage and seasonings.
2.  Add green beans.  Stir to combine.
3.  Transfer to a baking dish.
4.  Top with cheese.
5.  Bake, covered, at 400 for 15 minutes.
6.  Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes at 350.

Though I expected leftovers for lunch tomorrow, this is what I found:


I guess I'll just have to make it again!
