Ingredients
one pound of fresh cooked string beans, or canned when you have to
eight ounces of cream cheese, (I use whipped it's easier and I'm lazy)
1/2 cup of milk, (more or less if you need to)
1/2 to 3/4 cup of real romano cheese grated
some butter, (1/3 stick, depending on your cholesterol)
put everything in a sauce pan except the beans, melt stuff and stir till nice consistency, add the cooked or canned beans and heat thoroughly.
This is the kind of recipe I watched the old Italian relatives throw together without measuring, using the toss in method, add more or less of things till it tastes the way you like it. Salt and pepper and eat, yummy, yummy. And very fattening too! It's a nice change and it always pleases that PIA in the family.
Thanks, Mary! It sounds soooo good!
I knew I could count on you to comment. Thanks doll.
I love green beans and fattening food.
Linda is safe and finally has electricity! She's in Houston.
Wow! I didn't know you were an old Italian or descended from them, Mary R? recipe sounds super.
Thank God about Linda!
Actually I am a mutt. 1/4 Italian, 1/4 Polish,1/4 Irish, 1/8 French Canadian, and 1/4 Abenaki Indian.
I can cook it all.
Linda is so lucky to have electricity, my friend in Houston still doesn't. But weather wise they are all fortunate to have temperatures in the 70's. Yeah Linda!
Wonderful recipe. Can't wait to try it. Tonight perhaps. Been out of communication thanks to Ike!
Scots/Irish and Native American here.
Thanks, Girls, for the well wishes and prayers!
I'm saving the recipe to my gotta try file! Sounds wonderful. Linda, I'm so glad you're safe and electrified once again! I too love the fattening foods and Italian especially.
The Scarlet Pumpernickel- Cherokee, French, English, Scottish, Swiss and German, I think!
Thanks Mary,
You just took care of one Thanksgiving dish! Can't wait to try it.
