Green Beans with a White Garlic Gravy

Green Beans with a White Garlic Gravy

Yesterday we went for a drive and ended up at Hank's Farm.  We got some green beans.  Tonya spoke about this recipe that her aunt used to make.  This isn't the same recipe at all.  Did it taste good?  Yes.  But Tonya said that we will have to try again as this isn't it.

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1 package of fresh green beans
2 tablespoons of crushed Garlic (Less if there are no vampires around your place)
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
2 cups of milk

Stuff you will need

1 cutting board
1 sharp knife
1 skillet
1 whisk
1 steamer

Directions

Get the beans ready.  You will need to cut the ends off, and cut the beans into bite sized pieces.

Put the water on the boil for the steamer.  Once the water is boiling, put the beans on the steamer.

Melt the butter and then add the flour.  When this is cooking, you will notice a cooking flour smell.  I don't know how else to describe it.  Although I did refer to the gravy as a white sauce, in essence, we are making a white gravy.

Once you can no longer smell the flour, start adding the milk.  About a 1/4 cup at a time.  This will thicken up right away.  Keep adding more and more milk and stir that in the gravy.  

Add the garlic and pepper, stir that in.  Then add the steamed beans.  Turn the heat way down and put the lid on the skillet.
