How to Make Lightened Green Bean Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Coat a medium saucepan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk, stirring until smooth and thickened.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and bubbly.
- In an 8x8 inch baking dish, arrange 1 (14.5 ounce) can of green beans, drained.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup dry stuffing mix, 2 tablespoons margarine (melted), and 1 egg white, lightly beaten.
- Sprinkle the stuffing mixture evenly over the green beans.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the green beans and stuffing mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
