Instructions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch ovenproof or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add bread crumbs; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until toasted. Transfer bread crumbs to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.
  2. Bring green beans and water to a boil in the same pan; cook over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Drain and transfer green beans to a large bowl. Keep warm. Wipe skillet dry.
  3. Melt remaining butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper if desired. Bring to a boil; cook and whisk for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups Little Mountain until melted. Stir in green beans.
  5. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and remaining Little Mountain. Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
