5 Minute Thanksgiving Green Beans Recipe

I love the traditional green bean casserole as a Thanksgiving side dish. It’s just so creamy and delicious and those fried onions on top just make it so dang good.

But this recipe is nothing like that out-of-a-can and dump recipe. This recipe uses fresh green beans and ingredients in order to give a healthier take on the traditional favorite…so you can save room for pumpkin pie, of course!

Here’s the recipe:

5 Minute Lemon Pepper Green Beans

1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed and snapped in half)
3 tablespoons butter
2 pinches lemon pepper
salt to taste

Place green beans into a large skillet and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans start to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain water. Add butter to green beans; cook and stir until butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Season with lemon pepper and salt.
