ITALIAN GREEN BEANS

When I was first married, I wasn't a great cook. Twenty years later, I have many dishes I'm proud of, including this family favorite. Basil, oregano and Romano cheese give these beans their Italian accent. I serve them with broiled steak, pork roast, lamb chops or pork chops. -Andrea Ibzag, Gordon, Wisconsin

Looking for a different taste for your green beans? These are made with Roma beans (a flat Italian green bean), olive oil, garlic, oregano, onion and mushrooms. My mom used to make them all the time. I am guessing at the preparation and cook time.
