Notes

You can scale this recipe up as needed, we usually make 2 or 3 cans at a time and just adjust the seasonings accordingly.
The trick to this recipe is to let the liquid simmer completely out. If you leave the liquid in the beans, all the good stuff you add just gets left behind when you serve them.
Since you're starting with canned green beans, they are already tender, so they just need to be warmed and cooked long enough for the seasonings to set in.
A great addition to this recipe is some bacon. Because everything is better with bacon.
