Skillet Beans

I made this up all by myself. I wish it were more impressive, but it's pretty basic. I believe that sauteed onions can cure the woes of any food.

Slice two medium or one very large onion julianne style. Place in skillet with butter until onions become soft and start to caramelize, turning a yellow-brown. Add a package of frozen, un-cut green beans. Put lid on skillet and steam beans for 5 minutes. Serve.

The beans are still firm but have hung around the onions long enough to take on some yummy flavor. The uncut beans just make this dish look fancy. I served these with Kerri's meatballs. (See below)
