Note

For a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir into the cooked dish during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

You can substitute fresh green beans for the frozen ones if preferred.

If you prefer less sweetness, omit the molasses.
