This is an old recipe from DelMonte

Hi Debbie,

I hope someone will have the exact recipe you're looking for. In the meantime, here's one you can try. If you don't remember the dish tasting 'sweet and sour' you can substitute 1 tbsp. water for the vinegar. Mushrooms would be easy to add (you can saute sliced fresh mushrooms with the onion or use sliced canned mushrooms, drained and add them with the green beans).

Happy Holiday Cooking!
