[recipe] Fancy French Beans

[Guest guest]

Here is a green bean casserole dish with a slightly

different twist from the usual cream of mushroom

soup recipe. This is very delicious.

 

Fancy French Beans

 

4 cup frozen French-style green beans

1 cup bean sprouts

1 can (8oz) sliced water chestnuts, drained

2 Tbs butter or margarine

2 Tbs all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

Dash cayenne pepper

1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream

1/2 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

 

Cook beans according to package directions.

Add bean sprouts and water chestnuts; heat

through. Drain well and set aside. In a sauce

pan, 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 quart baking dish. Combine almonds and

cheeses; sprinkle over the top. Broil 4 to 6 inches

from the heat for 5 minutes or until almonds are

golden brown and cheese bubbly.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
