This super easy Green Beans and Mushrooms recipe, with buttery garlic and onion flavors, is a traditional holiday side dish for my family. This Christmas vegetable dish is healthy, quick and adds a burst of color to your dinner plate! They are also Weight Watchers friendly.
Slice mushrooms (if you didn't purchase pre-sliced). I would recommend slicing them as thick as shown in the photo.
Add green beans to cold water in large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until just tender (a fork can go through)
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat (or electric skillet) and sautee the mushrooms in butter for 1-2 minutes . Add garlic powder, onion powder and salt and cook stirring frequently for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain beans and add them to the skillet with the mushroom mixture and add if desired, additional garlic powder, onion powder or salt to taste. Add a little bit of pepper.
Continue to sautee, stirring frequently (stir fry style) for about 5-8 more minutes (to combine flavors).
Serve hot and enjoy!
