Personal Notes:
This Instant Pot recipe is based on Melissa Clark’s recipe for Italian Grandma-Style Green Beans included in her book, Dinner in an Instant. I'm a big fan of fresh green beans and love this Instant Pot version that requires so little work or time; certainly not the multiple-hour version my Georgia Grandma cooked.
