Ingredients
•
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
•
2 tablespoons butter, melted
•
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons grated onion

Directions
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Stir 2 tablespoons butter, flour, onion, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan over medium heat; gradually stir in sour cream. Cook and stir mixture until hot, thickened, and smooth, about 10 minutes. Add steamed green beans to the cream mixture. Pour green bean-cream mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish; sprinkle with Swiss cheese.
