No More Plain Green Beans

My family Easter gathering is quickly approaching and my Mom was making assignments. She said "why don't you bring a vegetable. Maybe green beans, you could even do the classic green bean casserole if you would like." Ever since Christmas and the unending leftovers I was not thrilled with the idea...to say the least. So here is a new twist on serving those green beans.

Roasted Green Beans with Peppers & Onion

1 lb. whole frozen or fresh green beans, ends trimmed
1 red pepper, cut into thin strips
1 yellow pepper, cut into thin strips
1 large onion, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
1/2 cup Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Toss vegetables with dressing in large roasting pan.
BAKE 30 min. or until vegetables are tender, stirring after 15 min.
SPRINKLE with cheese. Bake an additional 2 to 3 min. or until cheese is melted.

I have made this recipe several times and always enjoy the delicious taste of all the onions, peppers and cheese intertwined with the green beans. ENJOY :)
