Green Bean Casserole

This isn't necessarily the healthiest way to serve green beans, but it is pretty delicious.  I used canned green beans, but I will probably try fresh ones next time.

1 t sugar

1/4 c. onion (I omitted)

3 (14.5 oz) cans French style green beans, drained

2 c shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 c. crumbled ritz  crakcers

1 T. butter, melted

Original recipe makes 10 servings


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth, and cook for one minute. Stir in the salt, sugar, onion, and sour cream. Add green beans, and stir to coat.
2. Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread shredded cheese over the top. In a small bowl, toss together cracker crumbs and remaining butter, and sprinkle over the cheese.
3. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden and cheese is bubbly.
