Green Beans with Black Bean Chili Sauce

We took my daughter out to a working farm last weekend and picked up some fresh produce. Green beans are in season so I picked up a bunch. Now....what to do with it. My best friend, Abby, made this chinese green bean w/ground beef thing that was really great so I decided to try and emulate that.

Chopped the green beans in to 1/2 inch pieces. Browned the ground beef with onions, garlic, and a healthy dose of black pepper. Threw in the green beans, some more onions, a couple of spoons of Lee Kum Kee black bean sauce, and a spoonful of my mother-in-law's fantastic chili & black bean sauce.

Results: Pretty good! Tasty and fiery. The green beans were nicely cooked and still crunchy. The best part, it only took about 15 minutes to make. I had it over rice but husband will probably have it over the calorie free konjac noodles that he's in to lately.
