This is an attractive and tasty side dish. The butter, basil and tomato adds a nice flavor boost to the green beans. I've made them with garlic salt and regular kosher salt, both are delicious. If you want to spice it up, add more black pepper or substitute crushed red pepper for the black pepper.

    John served these recently as a side dish with a stuffed pork tenderloin. They were tender and flavorful. Almost everyone had seconds!

            Hey John! I really like this recipe. The addition of the sugar with the tomato reminds me of a stewed tomato recipe my mom made back in the day! The green beans just make it even better. I'd probably add a touch of sambal oelek for a little heat! Great Recipe!

                I've always found black pepper essential with green beans. Good suggestion. Thanks for posting. Can't wait to try!
