Thank you, loved this recipe! What a great and easy way to cook green beans and not the same old boring way. I have a cast iron skillet, so gave the recipe a try. Used a no salt Cajun seasoning. Recipe was quick and never thought of coating with cornmeal! My family loved this and I now make these crispy green beans often. Five stars!
Thanks Bethany! Wonderful that you make these tasty green beans often and all loved the recipe! They are good on their own, or dipping into the garlic remoulade dip.?Karen
