Balsamic Green Beans and Onions

I love green beans basically any way a person could cook them. But sometimes I like to mix it up a little bit, and make something a little more exciting than just adding butter, salt, and pepper. I made this dish as a side to our main course when my in-laws were visiting recently, and everyone loved it. My mother-in-law was taking notes so that she could make it again once she got back home.

So I guess it passed that test!

Plus, the kids asked for seconds. Which basically means you should go make this right now.
