In a 4- to 5-quart pot place shelling beans and water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Add wax and/or green beans. Cook 10 minutes more or until tender. Drain; rinse with cold water; drain again.

You can substitute fully cooked dried beans for the fresh beans. Note: 1 cup of most types of dried beans yields 2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked.
