How to Make Creamy Green Beans And Potatoes
- Wash and trim 1 pound of fresh green beans. Peel and dice 1 pound of potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
- In a medium saucepan, combine green beans, potatoes, and 2 cups of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy.
- While the potatoes and beans simmer, prepare the creamy sauce: In a covered jar, whisk together 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons of sugar (or Splenda to taste).
- Once the potatoes and beans are cooked, drain them well, reserving about ½ cup of the cooking liquid if needed to thin the sauce.
- Pour the milk mixture into the same saucepan. Stir in 1 tablespoon of dried parsley flakes and ½ teaspoon of lemon pepper.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 3-5 minutes). Add a little of the reserved cooking liquid if the sauce is too thick.
- Add the drained green beans and potatoes to the saucepan.
- Stir gently to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve warm. Enjoy!
