Green Beans With Ground Beef Food

EASY YUMMIEST GROUND BEEF AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• So additions I've tried include one 8 oz can sliced water chestnuts (chopped) and ½ onion chopped and ¼ cup red wine. truly none of these make the original recipe any better but I like to feel I contributed in some way --
• Saute ground beef (if adding water chestnuts and onions also sauté these at the same time) and add green beans when beef is mostly done. Then add the white pepper, soy sauce, (I do a tad less than ½ cup but the recipe won't let me put .38 cups) and balsamic vinegar (and if you're feeling sassy add that red wine too). Cook for 5-10 minutes and then yes my friend you are done (hopefully you've had the foresite to cook rice too) and have a MAGNIFICENT dish to serve your family and or friends -- One that someone, someday may marry you for. Just sayin' it worked on me!
• Truly the original with no additions is absolutely fabulous but for crunch (you texture lovers out there) add the water chestnuts. Otherwise it's perfect in original form but feel free to throw your creative twist on this and let me know what works!
