• 9 note: you could substitute fresh cooked green beans for the frozen-cooked green beans. i cooked my fresh green beans with a 1/2 cup of water, and sprinkled them with a bit of salt & pepper, and cooked them in a 900 watt microwave oven for 13 minutes (stirring the beans half way through the cooking time). also, when cooking the potatoes, i added a few cloves of fresh garlic to the pot of water, and when the potatoes were done cooking and drained, i added several pats of butter, a bit of half-and-half cream, plus i sprinkled the mashed taters with freshly cracked black pepper, also added some of mrs dash table blend seasoning.
