Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 (14 1/2 ounce) cans French-style green beans, drained
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crumbled buttery round crackers
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 To make the green beans: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in sour cream, onion, salt, and sugar.
3 Add green beans, and stir to coat. Transfer green bean mixture to a 2 ½-quart casserole dish.
4 Spread Cheddar cheese over green bean mixture. Toss cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl; sprinkle over bean mixture.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden and cheese is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
6 Serve and enjoy.
