This simple dish was always so good made with fresh green beans. In the winter Grandma would use home canned beans to make this

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon(s) melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon(s) all purpose flour
  • - salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup(s) milk
  • 3 cup(s) green beans, fresh, frozen, or drained canned beans

Directions

  1. 1

    NOTE: If using fresh green beans cook in a small amount of boiling water long enough to bring them to the tender-crisp stage. Drain and use as other beans in the following recipe.

  2. 2

    RECIPE: In a saucepan over medium heat combine butter, flour, and salt and pepper. Whisk in milk and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. This makes a white sauce. Place beans in a casserole dish. Pour white sauce over beans. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve hot.
