When you cook a can of green beans stove top, do I add water or is the juice inside fine?

Question

I'm making green beans and I don't have a microwave and there are no instructions for stove top. Am I suppose to add water? Do I drain the juice inside?

Put the beans and juice in a pan and heat.  No more liquid is required.

Just open the can, pour the beans and the juice into a pan, and warm them up.  That's it...very simple.

Answer 3

I drain them and add a pat of butter and some garlic salt... cover and cook on medium until heated through

Answer 4

You absolutely can heat the beans with the juice.  However, I drain that liquid add some butter and spices like black pepper and seasoned salt.  Lemon pepper is great too.  Even after draining the liquid if you use low flame and a cover the beans will steam well and there will be enough liquid to bring them to a boil.

Answer 5

Fry a small piece of bacon in a pot, add a small handful of chopped onion and a bit of the bean liquid. Cook briefly and then add the beans and the rest of the liquid. Taste and adjust seasonings.
