Ingredients

• 2 pounds green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups reduced-fat milk
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups French fried onions
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

• Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Steam green beans until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully remove the steamer basket. Transfer the beans to a serving dish and set aside.

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

• Melt butter in the pot and add flour; whisk until blended, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and transfer and remaining ingredients. Sprinkle with the remaining of fried onions on top. Bake until bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
