DIRECTIONS

1.	COOKING METHODS To steam green beans: Place no more than 5 pounds of frozen green beans in perforated steamtable pans. Steam for 3 to 5 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Place the green beans in solid steamtable pans for seasoning and service. If using solid steamtable pans to steam, drain the liquid from the pans prior to seasoning and service. To boil green beans: Place the frozen green beans in braising pans, a steam jacketed kettle, or stockpot. Cover the green beans with water and bring the liquid to a boil. Decrease the heat until the liquid simmers. Cook the green beans for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the green beans are thoroughly heated. Drain the liquid from pans. Transfer the green beans to solid steamtable pans for seasoning and service. CCP: Heat to 135 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process.
2.	Melt the margarine. Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper with the melted margarine. Distribute the margarine mixture evenly over the green beans. Stir the green beans gently to mix the ingredients and avoid breaking the green beans.
3.	Serve them immediately, or cover them and place in a warmer until ready for service. CCP: Hold and maintain product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F. Check temperature every 30 minutes.
