Ingredients

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup sliced mushroom

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 can (14.5 ounce) low-sodium green beans, drained and cut

Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before beginning to prepare the dish.

  2. Coat a large skillet evenly with non-stick cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.

  3. Once the skillet is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for approximately 3 minutes until it becomes translucent and begins to soften.

  4. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, continuing to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.

  5. Add the drained green beans to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onion and mushroom mixture.

  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the green beans are heated through completely and all vegetables are warmed to serving temperature.

  7. Transfer the sautéed green bean mixture to a serving dish and serve immediately while hot.

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4.5

This is a straightforward vegetable sauté with ingredients stocked year-round at every Charlotte grocery chain, meaning no special trips. The cost per serving runs around 60–75 cents, driven mainly by fresh green beans and mushrooms, making it genuinely cheap for a weeknight vegetable. The stated 15 minutes is honest for cooking once your ingredients are prepped, though actual knife work on the onion and mushrooms adds another 5–7 minutes if you're not swift. It reheats reasonably well in a skillet and suits family tables as a side dish, though it won't hold much heat over time once plated and does lack the heft to serve as a main course for most households.
