About
Olivia's Green Beans come from our dear friend Olivia, whose philosophy on vegetables is "keep it simple and keep it scrumptious!" You can see that theory on full display here; the green beans are bright and tender, sweetened with a little brown sugar and then heightened to savory grandeur with bacon crumbles! That's all! Nothing too elaborate, but all the goodness of a great veggie dish without the hassle! In 30 minutes, you could be serving up Olivia's Green Beans and setting a new standard for your side dishes!
