Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 c green beans
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp butter
  • 1/3 c water

Instructions
 

  • Trim the ends off the fresh green beans and place them in a pan with 1/3 cup of water.
  • Set to medium-high heat and saute the green beans for 6 to 8 minutes. Add in the butter and saute for another 3 minutes.
  • Test the green beans. They should still be crisp but tender enough to eat. If not cook for a few more minutes until they have reached your desired doneness.
  • Then, lower heat to low and toss in brown sugar and dijon mustard. Stir thoroughly. The sauce will caramelize onto the green beans.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
