Green Bean Casserole

In a medium saucepan, heat butter; add onion and pimiento or red pepper and cook over medium-low heat until onion is tender. Add flour and stir until well blended. Gradually add the 1 1/4 cups half-and-half or whole milk. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Thin with a little of the green bean cooking liquid or a little more half-and-half or milk, if necessary. Combine with the drained cooked green beans. Spray a 1 1/2 to 2-quart casserole with cooking spray. Spoon green bean mixture into the baking dish. In a bowl, toss bread crumbs with melted butter and herb seasoning blend, if using; sprinkle evenly over green bean mixture. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes, until bubbly. Broil for a few minutes to brown bread crumbs more, if desired.

Serves 4 to 6.
