Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pound Green Beans
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 8 tablespoons Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Pepper
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 cup Blue Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Steam or microwave the beans trimmed but whole until tender.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan, then mix in the flour to form a paste. Let cook just a minute to take the rawness off the flour, but don't let it brown. Whisk the milk in slowly. Season with pepper, let cook for about 5 minutes over a medium heat, whisking frequently. You should end with a thinnish white sauce.
  • Take the sauce off the stove, and stir in your crumbled Blue Cheese until it melts.
  • With any luck, your beans are cooked now, and drained, if needed. Spread these beans out in an oven-safe dish. Pour the sauce over them. Turn on your oven's grill or broiler or whatever you call it, and stick the dish under for about 5 minutes or until it loves lovely and bubbly with just a bit of browning.
  • Serve piping hot.

Notes

1 1/2 pounds (575g) of green beans should be about 4 cups, topped and tailed. Don't worry about getting it exact; this isn't the kind of recipe where it will matter all that much. 1/4 pound (4 oz / 125g) of Blue Cheese should do the trick. When crumbled, that should give you a cup. For blue cheese, use whichever kind you choose. Don't add salt until you've tasted it after adding the Blue Cheese. It may not want any.
