Not your usual Green Bean Casserole

My mother-in-law is allergic to mushrooms, my daughter-in-law can't handle MSG and my sister has celiac disease so she avoids anything with gluten. Thus the regular Green Bean Casserole is out of the question. Then I was given this one which is easy to adapt to accommodate the eating challenges of those around me. We like this one just as well as the other recipe,.

2 cans french cut green beans
8 oz mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp butter or margarine
2 Tbsp flour or cornstarch
2 tsp grated onion
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 c sour cream
cornflakes or french fried onions

melt butter, add onion, saute lightly. Add flour, salt pepper, sugar, and cook one minute. Add sour cream, cook one minute. Put beans in baking dish, top with cheese then sauce, then corn flakes or french fried onions. Bake at 400 until heated through, about 20 minutes.
