Green Bean Casserole with Bechamel

Homemade green bean casserole is always popular at Thanksgiving, and this version is easy and delicious. You can add other veggies to the mix to make it interesting, and if you broil it for just a couple of minutes after it bakes, the top gets nice and crispy. Delish!

Notes

You can also cook sliced mushrooms on butter and add them to the bean, onion and bechamel mixture.
