why, I like to eat mine the normal way - with my teeth:) I do enjoy green beans cooked in various ways, and even uncooked - fresh in hand from the garden. I really like the way my grandmother would prepare them cooked in a broth of ham and potatoes - for these she would use pole beans or green and yellow waxed beans. they are pretty good stir fried with soy sauce or pan fried in butter or with bacon crumbles I like them boiled as well as baked in that casserole thing I have a ground beef recipe that is topped with mounds of mashed potatoes and ringed with green beans - yummo. They are good eating pretty much any way devised to cook them:)

They're good if you just sprinkle a little lemon juice on them, and of course butter and salt is a given. I just had some last night. Toasted almonds go good with green beans too.

I have never heard of serving them with lemon juice - you have piqued my interest with this one! Oh, I thought of another way I like them - pickled in a three bean or dilly bean salad.

Hello ersmommy. We usually have two major ways of eating green beans, one of which is to make the green beans boiled in water as green bean soup and then add some sugar and place it into the fridge as a drink, the other way of which is to grow some green bean sprout and use it to cook as a course on the table. I love both. Of course, there are also some other ways of using the green beans.

9 times out of 10 I just heat them up with a little bit of butter, salt and pepper. Once in a while it is Green Bean Casserole. That is canned beans. I do not buy them frozen. I do not like them. For fresh beans my son like them just with butter, salt, and pepper. I like to make them with bacon and onion. YUMMY!

I like fresh green beans. I don't buy them often, however.

i to like green bean casserole but my favorite way to fix them is put them in a pot of boiling water, season well, fried meat grease, salt, , a good size piece of onion & a little sugar. ifthey are fresh ones i let them cook awhile then i put potatoes & carrots on top of them & let them cook till nearly all the water cooks out of them.

I love green beans. I steam them making sure they are not overcooked. Before steaming them I add finely diced red pepper. After they are done I serve them with lightly toasted almond slivers and a bit of butter and black pepper.

I very rarely buy green beans since my family doesnt really care for them but when I do I like to either eat them raw or saute them briefly with a little garlic, onions and almonds..

Hi there... We prefer to eat our green beans steamed or boiled half cooked, so that its nice and firm, with a knob of butter melting through them...

Stir fry them with onion and thinly sliced beef, then add a couple tablespoons of oyster sauce and serve over rice. This in one of my favorite meals. I love green bean casserole too, but normally only make that during the holidays.
