"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
This is the version of green beans I always use for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. All of the component parts can be prepped ahead and the final heating done as you are readying everything else for serving.
