- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the pan and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add 1 pound of trimmed green beans to the pan. Mix well to coat with the sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
