Grandma's Green Bean Casserole

Ok, I admit it. It's a casserole, not a bake. But it's also way better than the one with cream of mushroom soup. It doesn't turn out as well with frozen beans (at least not the regular cut ones. Maybe French cut frozen ones would work).

Grandma's Green Bean Casserole

2 T. butter

2 T. flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. white sugar

1/4 c. onion, diced

1 c. sour cream

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

2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 c. crumbled Ritz crackers

1 T. butter, melted



1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Melt 2T. butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions. Stir in flour until smooth, and cook for one minute. Stir in the salt, sugar, and sour cream. Add green beans and stir to coat.

3. 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. Sprinkle over the cheese.

4. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden and cheese is bubbly.
