Thanks for coming to my rescue so quickly, Marc! I just made these yesterday, and they were absolutely amazing! They were also a lot less expensive (and better tasting) than the store where I've bought it pre-made... and, as you said there were leftovers!! Had to use canned diced tomatoes because fresh roma tomatoes were no good. Strangely enough, I went to that store today and they had loads of fresh romano beans. I bought a pound and will make them again in the next day or two! Thank you so much for your help, and for sharing your wonderful recipe!!

Hi Rebecca, frozen green beans should work fine. I would recommend defrosting them once and dump any of the water that comes out of them. They will also probably cook a little faster, but you can judge this by tasting the beans periodically to see when they're done to your preferred tenderness. I hope that helps!
