Ingredients

• 1 pound green beans, washed and trimmed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
3. Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they start to soften slightly.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
5. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the green beans in the skillet. Stir well to coat the beans evenly.
6. Transfer the coated green beans from the skillet to a grill basket or use aluminum foil to create a pouch for the beans on the grill.
7. Place the grill basket or foil pouch on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the beans are tender and have absorbed some of the smoky flavor from the grill.
8. Remove the beans from the grill and serve hot as a side dish with your favorite grilled meats or burgers.
