For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of apple cider vinegar during the last few minutes of cooking. Fresh green beans can be substituted for canned, but will require a longer cooking time. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference; some may prefer a less sweet flavor.
