What You Need

lb. fresh green beans, trimmed

1/3

cup dried cranberries

tsp. butter

1/2

cup finely chopped sweet onions

Tbsp. brown sugar

Tbsp. KRAFT Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

1/4

cup slivered almonds

Make It

COOK beans and cranberries in simmering water in skillet 4 to 5 min. or until beans are crisp-tender. Drain; rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.

MELT butter in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add onions and sugar; cook and stir 5 min. Add bean mixture; cook and stir 3 min. or until heated through.

STIR in dressing; cook and stir 1 min. Top with nuts.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

For added crunch and flavor, toast the nuts before sprinkling them over the cooked bean mixture. Heat oven to 350ºF. Spread nuts onto bottom of shallow pan. Bake 10 to 15 min. or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Excellent green bean recipe! Made these for Easter with the whole family and even the non-green bean lovers enjoyed them. I definitely recommend toasting the almonds first, gives it the extra crisp, crunchy flavor. And although it doesn't mention covering the beans, I did and I think it helped. I also did not have the dressing, but I used aged balsamic vinegar and it was delicious still - just enough flavor. These will definitely become a staple in our family.

I made this recipe with a mix of the green beans from the garden and the store because my garden did not have a pounds worth. OMG! LOVED IT! This is a make again recipe. I hope I get more green beans!

I loved this recipe. Did not have the bv dressing so I used 1 tbsp each olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Turned out great.
