Do you remember sitting on the front porch with grandma on a hot summer Sunday afternoon? Amusing family stories and neighborhood scuttlebutt were shared to the sounds of a squeaking rocking chair and the snapping of green beans. Grandma knew how to cook up beans like nobody's business, and we happily ate them even though we didn't like most green vegetables. To bring back some of that summer nostalgia, try our Hot Bean Dish. You can make it even when fresh beans are out of season! Simply cook frozen green, yellow and lima beans in boiling water. (Don't worry, grandma wouldn't mind that you're taking a shortcut.) Then make your Hot Bean Dish sauce out of butter, flour and Smith's Half & Half seasoned with pepper and Worcestershire. Combine the beans with the sauce, sprinkle with Parmesan and bake until bubbly. One taste of this Hot Bean Dish and you'll be transported back to that memory-rich, squeaky front porch with grandma.
