How to Make A Different Green Bean Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Grease or spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
3. Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
4. Add 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Do not brown.
5. Stir in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until fully dissolved, about 1 minute.
6. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
7. Stir in 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
8. Continue stirring until the sauce is thick and the cheese is melted. If too thick, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
9. Remove from heat and gently stir in 2 (15 ounce) cans of green beans, drained.
10. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
11. Top with 1 1/2 cups crushed buttery crackers.
12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cracker crumbs are golden brown and bubbly.
