    The cast pan is probably a better health choice, joyce, although sometimes it's difficult to overlook the value of our microwaves. Enjoy! Thanks for your 5.

    Another favorite of mine that I dearly love. I almost, always cook my greenbeans this way, the bacon and onion gives them such an unique taste! The only different is that I use an iron fry pan and cook them on top of stove.I will try the microwave this sunday.

    I always cook my green beans with bacon, it gives them a smokey flavor, of course I can always take something healthy and add calories, it is a curse. This sounds better adding the bacon but not the fat, thanks for a great post!
