Ingredients for 4 servings:
1. 8 cups green beans, tipped and tailed
2. 1 small onion, sliced
3. 2 garlic cloves, minced
4. 2 teaspoons salt
5. 2 teaspoons black pepper (adjust if desired)
6. 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (use less if sensitive to spicy)
7. 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
8. 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
9. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
10. 1 teaspoon dried basil
11. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
12. 1 cup water
13. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions:
1. Cook all ingredients except butter in large heavy pot over medium heat until mixture is simmering.
2. Reduce heat and simmer, covered. Cook for at least 20 minutes.
3. When beans are tender and have reached desired tenderness (Southerners eat them VERY overcooked 🙁 ). Remove from stove and add butter.
4. Stir to coat again and serve hot! YUMMY!

Enjoy your meal!
