How To Make creamed green beans, grandma's recipe

Step 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.

Step 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.
