How to make the perfect balsamic green bean side dish:
Cook green beans as directed if frozen or canned.
If fresh, cover green beans with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until beans are tender.
Drain beans and then on a greased pan heat green beans and tomatoes at medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Drizzle with balsamic, add salt and pepper, and sprinkle with cheese!
