Ingredients

2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen French-cut green beans
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 cups French-fried onions, divided

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for baking.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a smooth paste. Quickly incorporate green beans, sour cream, salt, and sugar before the paste thickens too much. Cook, stirring occasionally, until green beans are thawed and slightly cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
Transfer the hot mixture to a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in 1 cup of Cheddar cheese and 1 cup of fried onions until well combined. Pour into a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish and sprinkle the remaining Cheddar and onions on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown, approximately 30 minutes.
