Sautee'd Green Beans

(I got the basis for this recipe from this web page, but I change it up jut a bit.)

This one is great for the holidays, but also great any day of the week.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound green beans, cleaned and tips removed
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves minced garlic
Approx 3 tbsp Chicken Broth
1 tbsp butter or margarine
Cool things to add:
Bacon
Onions

Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, then minced garlic. After a few seconds, garlic will turn brown. Add green beans and other ingredients you wish to add. Saute for 3 minutes, then add broth. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Saute for 15 to 20 minutes, or until nearly all of the broth has evaporated.
