Nana's Green Bean Dish image

This concoction was passed down from my grandmother who cooked with what she had on hand at the time and who never measured anything. It's sounds odd but is one of my favorite hearty, comfort foods. It's like spaghetti without the carbs. Even healthier if you substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs fresh green beans
1 lb ground beef
16 ounces your favorite spaghetti sauce (or you can make your own)
1 large onion, chopped into 1/2-3/4-inch pieces
1 (12 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained & roughly cut (or use a large can if you love tomatoes in your sauce)

Steps:

  • Brown the ground beef.
