Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb green beans (either frozen or fresh) not canned
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 c diced onion
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1 c water
2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp fresh chopped dill

Steps:

  • 1. Cook beans in water until tender crisp, not soft. Drain.
  • 2. Melt butter, add onions and saute until limp. Add chopped dill. Add flour and stir well to make the roux. Add one cup of water, sugar and vinegar and stir while the sauce thickens.
  • 3. Add drained beans and mix. If too thick, add a little more water. ( I found i didnt have to add additional water)
  • 4. This is a forgiving recipe. I had made it, and we talked for a while, and it reheated over a low temp just fine.
