2 cans Reese Sliced Water Chestnuts, drained
3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
3 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
2 cups Milk
1 packet Knorr French Onion Recipe Mix
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup Sliced Almonds

Directions:

1. Drain and cut the Reese Water Chestnuts in half then set aside.

2. In a small sauce pot, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to make a roux, about 1 minute on medium heat. Next, slowly add the milk while whisking until the sauce becomes thick. Season with French Onion Recipe Mix, turn off the heat and set aside.

3. Rinse and cut the green beans in half then simmer in boiling water for 3-4 minutes.
