This is a summertime favorite at our house when the first batch of green beans is picked. We serve over potatoes or eat plain. I sometimes add more spices to mine, but the man of the house prefers the bland taste.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

5 cups fresh green beans
salt water, to cover
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup white flour
1/2 cup skim milk
1 ounce shredded cheese
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Add the beans to a pan, cover with water and add salt.
2
Boil until tender, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
3
Strain the beans in a colander and set aside.
4
Add the flour and milk to a bowl with a tight fitting lid and shake until mixed.
5
Add the butter to the pan and melt.
6
Add the shredded cheese and the flour and milk mixture, heat until thickened.
7
Be sure to stir often to keep from burning.
8
The burner should be between medium to medium high heat to get mixture to thicken.
9
Once the mixture has thickened add the beans and stir to coat.
