Baked green beans are an easy, no fuss way to fix them without stirring every ten minutes or risk burning them. Green beans can be baked by themselves, or in many casserole formations. French cut green beans are best for boiling, while blue lake, and other sliced varieties are best for baking or grilling. They are easy to grow, pick, wash, slice, freeze, and cook as needed. Some types grow on long, trailing vines. Others grow on waist high bushes. No need to cook before freezing. Two rows will grow a year's worth for two people, plus plenty to share.
