A family favorite for years, this special green bean recipe is a cinch to double and can be assembled ahead of time. When my nephews are coming for dinner, it’s an absolute must! —Betty Shaw, Weirton, West Virginia

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/2 cup cornflakes, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion

  • 4 to 6 cups French-style green beans, cooked and drained
