Ingredients
- 2 lbs. green beans, trimmed
- 2 Tbs. butter
- 1 (10 oz.) pkg. mushrooms, sliced
- 1 leek, white and light green parts only, chopped
- 2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
- 1 cup lower-sodium chicken broth

- 4 oz. Gouda cheese, shredded, about 1 cup

Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F. In large pot of boiling salted water, cook green beans over medium-high heat until just tender, about 5 min. Drain well. Pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to shallow 10-cup baking dish. Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and leek; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5 min. Sprinkle flour over mixture; cook, stirring, until flour is absorbed, 1 min. Gradually stir in chicken broth and heavy cream; stir in Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring, until thickened, about 2 min. Remove from heat; stir in Gouda cheese until melted. Pour over green beans in baking dish and lightly toss; cover with foil. Bake 20 min. Remove foil; sprinkle with onions and almonds. Bake until lightly browned, 5–10 min.Click here for next recipencG1vNJzZmivp6x7p7XRrKufp6KsvK6xzWeaqKVfp7Kktc%2BeZqyhlJp6pbXSoZysZ5ensqa6jJucmqZdosK0tNGopqZlk5bAtLHRqKOe
