Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
If Grandma did not have fresh green beans on hand, she used canned green beans instead. She simply drained 2 (141/2-ounce) cans green beans, rinsed them and drained again. To give them a fresh taste, she tossed the green beans with a tablespoon of lemon juice before proceeding with the recipe.
