Ingredients

2 (14.5 ounce) cans green beans (such as Del Monte)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cream cheese
salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

Drain most of the water from green beans and add beans to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add butter and cream cheese to the saucepan with green beans. Stir until melted and well incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips

Fresh green beans can be used in place of canned.

For a lower-calorie version, Neufchâtel cheese can be used in place of cream cheese.
