Country Green Beans

I hardly ever make fresh green beans since my kids prefer to eat a can of Del Monte, but Kroger had them on sale this week and this recipe for them was a hit! Everyone ate them (and Scott ate seconds and thirds)!

Country Green Beans

1 to 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped ham
1/4 cup butter
1/2-1 cup water (enough to just cover the beans)
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp salt (although I think I might leave this out next time since the ham adds that salty flavor)
1/4 tsp pepper

Simmer on medium heat approx 20 minutes or until beans are tender.
