This green beans with ham recipe can be made as a side dish or enjoyed as an entree. It's really tasty and you can have it on the table in about 30 minutes.

This cooks up beautifully in a cast iron pan. You don't have to use cast iron, but I swear everything tastes better in cast iron. A 12" pan is a versatile pan and large enough for most everything you need. They are heavy though, so keep that in mind when buying one.
I was really skeptical about cast iron at first. It seemed like a lot of work, but it's really not and I love the way the recipes turns out in it. We have a set of different sizes and they nest nicely into each other and don't take up a lot of room. And they will last forever with a few easy steps of cleanup after each meal
