Sweet Green Beans. . .
Or Green Beans Your Kids Will Actually Eat!

Ingredients

4 --16 oz cans Green Beans
1 Onion
1 Stick Butter
(or
8 Tbsp Margarine)
1/2 c. Brown Sugar
(or SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Saute onion in the butter (or margarine). Add green beans and brown sugar. Combine well. Transfer to a baking dish. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.

I use two cans of regular green beans and two cans of French-Cut green beans. The first time I made this, both children took seconds! Sure - they're getting some sugar, but they are eating BEANS!!! Try the new SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend.
