Spiced Up Green Beans

Posted by Lori:
Looking through green bean recipes today, I found one that used Italian dressing.  Since I didn't have any, I came up with this version of Spiced Up Green Beans.  If you prefer a less spicy type of food, add another can of green beans or use less of the Italian dressing seasoning packet. 

My family - especially the three boys - really liked these just like they're posted.  One of them said, "They're amazing!"  And that, coming from my oldest son, is definitely a compliment.  He tells exactly what he thinks about the food he eats :).

Spiced Up Green Beans

3 cans green beans
1 package (0.7 ounce) Italian Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix
1 teaspoon beef base (found by bouillion cubes)
1/2 Tablespoon brown sugar

Place all ingredients into medium saucepan.  Boil until liquid is reduced to desired amount.  The sauce will thicken a bit and form a glaze to the green beans.
