Let's face it -- there are probably few people who can say they crave canned green beans ... as a more glamorous-sounding ...

A few weeks before Thanksgiving every year my family inevitably asks if anyone would object to swapping the traditional green bean casserole for some sort of sauteed haricot vert kinda thing.

As an added bonus, eating beans will give you potassium, iron, magnesium and manganese. Cons: Canned haricot beans can have a high salt content. Rinse them before use.
