1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
3 (14.5 ounce) cans French-style green beans, drained
2 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup buttery round crackers, crushed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to three hundred fifty Fahrenheit and grease a casserole dish.
2. Melt butter in a skillet and whisk in flour for one minute.
3. Stir in sour cream, onion, salt, and sugar until thick.
4. Fold in green beans until fully coated.
5. Transfer mixture to dish and top with shredded cheese.
6. Mix cracker crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle on top.

Notes
Ensure green beans are very well drained to avoid a watery sauce.
Hand-grate the cheddar for the best melting consistency.
Full-fat sour cream is recommended to prevent curdling.
