Fake It Till You Make It Outback Steakhouse Green Beans

Ingredients
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter (I'm use Earth Balance Buttery Spread)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Maggi seasoning or soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1. Steam the green beans for 8 minutes,or in the microwave for about 2 minutes. While the green beans are steaming, begin making your seasoned butter sauce.

2. Add cool water to the green beans in order to cease the cooking process. (This allows for crispy crunchiness instead of squishy beans.)

3. Drain the water from the beans and set aside.

4. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, Maggi seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. When the green beans are done, place them in a bowl. Add the butter sauce, in the bowl, and stir the green beans until they are coated.

5. Add Salt and Pepper to taste and Enjoy!
