Heather’s recipe tips

• Beans: Don’t forget to drain off all of the liquid in the cans of green beans before simmering.
• Butter: If you would like to make this dairy-free, you can leave out the butter completely.
• Store: You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a large pan or pot on the stove.
