A family favorite for years, this recipe is one I make often because it can easily be doubled and prepared ahead. It's a must on the menu when my nephews come for dinner!
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1/2 cup cornflakes, crumbled
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
4 to 6 cups frozen French-style green beans, cooked and drained
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese
In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter; stir in cornflakes and set aside. Melt remaining butter in a large saucepan. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, onion and sugar; heat and stir until bubbly. Reduce heat; add the sour cream and stir until smooth. Cook and stir over low heat for 2 minutes (do not boil). Fold in the beans. Spread into a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Sprinkle with cornflake mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20 minutes or until heated through.
