LEMON PEPPER GREEN BEANS

I bought the best green beans I have found in years today @ HyVee; they were so fresh! Hope you can find some, too & enjoy this simple side dish.
If possible, use Tone's sodium-free Lemon Pepper; it comes in a small green round container (less than 1 oz.). It is especially lemony & very yummy.
By the way, all of these measurements are approximate--I'm not really sure how much I use...

1 lb. fresh green beans
1/2 to 1 tsp lemon pepper
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp butter

Wash & trim green beans. Steam over boiling water, covered for 5-7 minutes, or till tender. (Or you can cook directly in a small amount of water, covered) Remove from heat & pour off water. Place green beans in bottom of the saucepan. Add butter, and shake spices over green beans. Toss gently, re-cover saucepan, & heat over low until butter is melted. Toss again & serve.

Serves 4
