One bite and you will never go back to the "old way" of making green bean casserole ever again. No "cream of something" soup in this baby. This recipe is much better than the standard mushroom soup and French fried onion version.

How To Make green bean casserole

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth, and cook for one minute. Stir in the salt, sugar, onion, and sour cream. Add green beans, and stir to coat.
  • Step 2
    Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread shredded cheese over the top. In a small bowl, toss together cracker crumbs and remaining butter, and sprinkle over the cheese. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden and cheese is bubbly.
