Ingredients
1 can (8 ounces) of sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 small onion, chopped
6 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup chicken broth

Dash salt
1 package (16 ounces) of frozen french-style green beans, thawed
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

-Preheat oven to 350°. In a small skillet, saute water chestnuts, onion, and mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter until onion is crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes.
