Ingredients

• 1.5 Pounds (lb) fresh green beans, steamed
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) onion, grated
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) white sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 2 Cups sour cream
• 8 Ounces (oz) Swiss cheese, shredded
• 2 Cups corn flakes, crushed
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the green beans, cover, and steam until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
3. In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together 2 tablespoons of melted butter, flour, onion, sugar, and salt. Gradually stir in the sour cream. Cook and stir the mixture until hot, thickened, and smooth, about 10 minutes.
4. Add the steamed green beans to the cream mixture. Pour the green bean-cream mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish and sprinkle with Swiss cheese.
5. Mix the corn flakes and 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a bowl until well coated. Sprinkle over the Swiss cheese layer.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbling and the topping is browned, about 20 minutes.
