Garlic Green Beans (AKA Crack Beans)

Crack is whack ya'll, but these green beans are not!  These are my newest addiction.  These green beans are so delicious and so easy to make.  I never realized how cheap fresh green beans were, but for a handful to serve both me and husby it cost me about $0.65-$0.70.  Husby dubbed these "Crack Beans".

1 lb. fresh green beans (I just usually grab a nice fistful)
enough water to boil green beans (I dont measure, I just fill a pot full of water)
3 cloves minced garlic
3 tablespoons salted butter
dash of salt
dash of pepper

1. Add beans to a pot full of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Drain the beans and set them aside.
3. In the same pot you used to boil the beans (minus the water of course), saute the garlic in the butter until the garlic is a nice light brown color.
4. Add green beans and salt and pepper to taste. Heat through.

Frugal Tip: The water you used to boil your green beans in would be good to use to water your indoor/outdoor plants once cooled.
