Sour Cream Green Bean Casserole

Submitted by oboemom

"This recipe was given to me as a wedding gift 22 years ago. I have made it every year since for Thanksgiving and Christmas, although it is wonderful throughout the year. It is different from the traditional mushroom soup green bean casserole, using a sour cream base instead."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans green beans
• 1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
• 1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 dash pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1⁄4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 (8 ounce) package swiss cheese, grated
• 1⁄2 cup Durkee onions

directions

1. Cook green beans and drain well.
2. Combine butter, flour, salt, pepper, onions, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and sour cream in a medium sized bowl.
3. Mix lightly with green beans.
4. Place mixture in lightly greased casserole. Top with grated cheese; sprinkle with Durkee onlons.
5. Bake at 400 degrees or until cheese is bubbly. (Watch the onions that they don't start to get too brown; cover with a loose tent of foil if they get brown too quickly).
