This is a simple, homey German-style dish. It has a slightly sweet & sour taste. You may use reduced fat sour cream. Cook time is an estimate.

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced thinly or chopped
4 tablespoons butter
1-2 tablespoon granulated sugar, to taste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup half-and-half cream or light cream
2 (16 ounce) cans green beans, rinsed and drained,reserving 3/4 cup of the canning liquid
1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream (optional)
2 tablespoons cooked crumbled bacon, to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or as needed to thicken)

Directions

1
In a large skillet, melt butter and saute onions and mushrooms until very tender.
2
Whisk in flour and sugar and vinegar until blended well.
3
Add parsley, half-n-half, and reserved bean liquid and whisk until blended.

Deeevine green beans, a bit like an elegant sweet and sour green bean casserole without the baking. I used 1lb of fresh, cooked beans(with it's salted cooking liquid), olive oil, skim milk and 1/2c of fat free sour cream. It still tasted marvelously thick, creamy and indulgent. Great recipe, HeatherFeather.

I substituted creamed chicken as 2 kids wont eat mushrooms no way no how, heated on stove top. Absolutley perfection! Great tasting, easy to prepare and every bit was GONE! Really did lick the platter clean. Going to have this for Christmas.

Very tasty!! However, I didn't see flour listed in the list of ingredients. I thickened it with 2 T but should have used a bit more. But never the less, it was a huge success at this years Christmas feast!! Thanks for submitting it.
