This green bean casserole is an adaptation of the traditional holiday side dish. If you and your guests are looking for something a bit more enticing than the usual "mushroom soup casserole," this one with cheese will surely become a staple in your recipe box!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 packages frozen French-cut green beans , 16 ounce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese , divided
- 2 cups French-fried onions , divided

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

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add flour and stir slowly until it forms a smooth paste. Quickly stir in green beans, sour cream, salt, and sugar before the flour paste becomes too thick or overcooked. Continue to cook and stir occasionally over medium heat until green beans have thawed and started to cook, 7 to 10 minutes.

Transfer hot mixture to a large mixing bowl and gently stir in 1 cup of Cheddar cheese and 1 cup of fried onions until evenly mixed. Transfer to a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish and top with remaining Cheddar and onions.

Jumbo Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
I received free blueberries recently. I admit I never actually tasted a real one before. Always the boxed muffin kind. I loved them. Recently switched to whole wheat, so I wanted to try a new muffin recipe out. This is the one that not only turned out great, but filling as well. When I was eating it, I was craving eggs. Next time I will have to remember to throw in a fried egg or two on the side. I made 6 jumbo muffins.
Apple Cider and Spice Pork Chops
This recipe was an accident. I was experimenting with flavors and wasn't expecting much out of it, but the apple cider addition yielded some of the best pork I've ever tasted (and the boyfriend agreed).
Chicken Asparagus Casserole
This chicken and asparagus casserole with noodles is great to make in the spring when asparagus first comes in and you can get it fresh. Add salsa to the sour cream mixture if you like a spicier dish.
