I created this dish to have a hot side dish to compliment our Baked B B Q Chicken. We were already having a green salad, so this was the perfect addition, Simple quick & easy with items on hand in the pantry and fridge it came together quickly. My husband appreciated that it had so much flavor being that the green beans were from a can. I always keep canned vegetables on hand, although most of the time I use fresh or frozen. They come in handy when you are in a hurry. The bacon and flax seeds on top added lot of flavor and texture. They were very tasty, hope you give them a try soon.
