Notes

Use Cut Green Beans instead of French Style Green Beans.
Be sure to drain the juices from the canned green beans.
Canned green beans from the garden work for this ground beef and green bean recipe too.
For extra flavor, add diced onions and/or garlic to the ground beef while browning.
If you want to stretch the recipe a bit farther, use three 14.5 ounce cans of green beans instead of two cans.
Substitute tomato sauce for tomato juice, if needed.
