Notes
How tender? Southern-style green beans cook until most of the water is gone and they're very tender. If you like a little snap, take them off the heat a few minutes sooner.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat. I don't recommend freezing them because the texture changes.
