- 12 cups fresh green beans roughly 2 lbs or 36 oz
- 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
- 3 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, carefully add the beans to the pot. Stir.
Let the beans boil for 5-7 minutes, just to your preferred level of doneness. Drain the beans immediately & transfer them to a waiting ice bath.
Pour the dressing into a large skillet set over medium low heat. Let the dressing heat up, stirring often, just until it's hot & beginning to bubble.
Add 2 tbsp of the cheese into the skillet, stirring until melted.
Add the beans to the skillet, tossing to coat, and remove the skillet from heat.
Season with freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan evenly out overtop the beans.
Serve & enjoy!
- As is, this is a fantastic side dish. You can however make it a meal by sautéing chicken or shrimp in the dressing before you add the green beans to the skillet.
- Want to make it even heartier? Add some crispy bacon.
- While this is a side dish, you could turn this into a big salad as well by tossing them with romaine dressing and croutons.
