Cheesy Green Beans Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

These green beans are creamy and cheesy, and they make a fabulous side dish for any meal. They're super easy, too. The green beans are gussied up with a small amount of heavy cream and some shredded cheese. If you're tired of the same plain old steamed veggies, try this recipe. Fresh green beans are in season during the summer, which might be surprising since they are so traditional as a side dish during the winter and holidays. They are easy to grow in your garden, either the bush varieties or pole beans. Browse a farmers market during the summer to see different heirloom varieties for this vegetable. Some have stripes or surprising colors. Green beans add color to the plate, and they are an excellent vegetable to serve with roasted chicken, fish, or pork and starches such as mashed potatoes or rice.
