Zucchini and yellow squash work well. Canned green beans work with frozen, sliced squash. It's not as good as fresh sliced green beans.

Green beans can be grilled in an individual packet or mixed with potatoes, butter, and even ham or bacon bits.

Red potatoes are a good choice, as are other tiny potatoes from the first potato dig of the year.

Favorite vegetables to add to green bean casseroles include: corn, carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes. Potato flakes add a luscious layer.

Dogs will eat cooked green beans. Ask your veterinarian for an appropriate amount, and how to fix them for dogs.

Green beans can be baked by themselves, or in many casserole formations.
