When she's entertaining, June Mullins of Livonia, Missouri often serves this popular side dish. Water chestnuts, bean sprouts and almonds add crunch, she says. If you'd like the mixture a little creamier, use only 4 teaspoons of flour. Ingredients:
4 cups frozen french-style green beans |
1 cup canned bean sprouts |
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
dash cayenne pepper |
1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook beans according to package directions. Add bean sprouts and water chestnuts; heat through. Drain well and set aside. In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt, pepper and cayenne until smooth. Gradually add cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add Worcestershire sauce and bean mixture; toss to coat. Pour into a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Combine almonds and cheese; sprinkle over the top. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5 minutes or until almonds are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
