Sauted Green Beans with Ground Beef

This recipe is one of my hubby's favorite...a decent homemade meal that we had for dinner. Originally, in the Philippines we usually use "sitaw" or string beans instead of green beans, but you know it's kinda hard to find that kind of vegetable here in the States. So, green beans is the great subtitutes for that. Adding 2 tbsp of banana kechup with tomato sauce is my way too.
