Green Bean Casserole

To go with the Trailer Trash Pot Roast, I made a green bean casserole for our holiday dinner. This recipe (from AllRecipes) is a little different than others because it uses sour cream instead of mushroom or onion soup. I think the sour cream adds great flavor. I will definitely be using this recipe from now on. Green bean casserole is another good holiday dish because you can easily increase the recipe for a large group.

• 1 1/2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp flour

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Melt 1/5 tbsp butter in a larger skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth, and cook for 1 minute.
3. Stir in the salt, sugar, onion, and sour cream. Next, add the green beans and stir to coat.
4. Transfer the green bean mixture to a casserole dish and spread Cheddar cheese over the top.
