Moron Test Kitchen – Yummy Green Beans

I don’t really know what the name of the dish is, but my friend Lisa made them for the church Christmas party and they were delish. She swears it’s easy – let’s see if she’s right.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

I was making enough for 4 adults and 4 kids. Lisa H. said to use two big (32oz) cans of beans, but I sent my husband to the store and he came home with this 100 oz monstrosity!

Drain the beans, then rinse them and drain them again.

While they’re draining, spray a dish with Pam or something similar.

Pour the beans into the dish. It’s okay if it makes a mound, they’ll cook down.

Cut up a STICK of butter and put it on the beans. Then sprinkle a CUP of brown sugar all over them.

Next sprinkle 4 TABLESPOONS of soy over the beans. Finish by adding 2 – 4 cloves of garlic to the whole thing. I didn’t have cloves so I used 3 teaspoons of minced garlic.

This is the whole shebang ready to go into the oven. Cook for 45 min to 1 hour, stirring a couple of times during the baking process.

These were YUMMY. I took them to bridge and even the kids liked them. Well, one kid, let’s just call him “Fave” ate two helpings and said they were awesome. Sure another kid, let’s just call him “Blacksheep” said they were two sweet, but there’s a good chance he was dropped on his head as a baby. No, I mean he really might have been. I held him a lot.

Moron Test Kitchen – A+    They were super easy and super good. I’d say they were better than cookies, but you know where that can lead.

There are similar recipes out there that call for less brown sugar if you have also been dropped on YOUR head. Some people add bacon to the top, but I liked it super fine as is.
