Green Bean Casserole


I love green bean casserole!  I do not, however, enjoy the canned cream of mushroom taste you get with it.  Hallelujah there is a recipe that doesn't call for canned soup!!!

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 small onion, diced
1 cup sour cream
1 can of green beans, the large family-size can
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, saute onion in butter.  Add flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.  Add salt, sugar, and sour cream.  Stir until incorporated.  Add green beans and toss to coat.  Transfer to a large casserole dish and sprinkle with cheese.  Mix bread crumbs with melted butter.  Sprinkle crumb mixture on top of cheese.  Bake for 30 minutes until bread crumbs are golden brown.
