My husband came up with this recipe so he gets the credit. We used to serve it only on holidays such as Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. Then I decided it was too good and too healthy to only eat a few times a year.
When I went on Weight Watchers several years ago, I ate this dish as a main course quite often. I lost 95 pounds and I enjoyed every bite of my green beans. I cut back on meat intake in favor of veggies and fruit and lots of exercise, something I need to do again, sadly.
Some people find it too spicy. If you do, cut back on the spices and try it again. I like mine spicy.
INGREDIENTS
1 large can Italian cut green beans (you can use other green beans, but this variety works best for this recipe)
1 small can mushroom pieces (optional)
Cajun Seasoning
Black Pepper
DIRECTIONS
Pour 1 large can Italian cut green beans and 1 can mushrooms into large non-stick skillet with their juice.
Cover the green beans and mushrooms with a thick layer of Cajun Spice and Black Pepper. Bring to a boil then turn down to simmer. Cover with a lid until the liquid steams off. Stir occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn.
This is a great side dish to serve with ham or turkey and macaroni and cheese on a holiday. It's also a great dish to eat to lose weight, holiday or not.
