Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients for your green bean casserole.
Prepare the green bean base: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, cooking for about 1 minute. Stir in sour cream, onion, salt, and a pinch of sugar.
Gently fold in the green beans until evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish.
Evenly spread shredded Cheddar cheese over the green bean mixture. In a separate small bowl, combine cracker crumbs with melted butter; sprinkle this topping over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade green bean casserole!
