Green Bean and Artichoke Casserole

Celtic Sea Salt

Pepper

1 lb green beans, cut and steamed

4 tbs. butter

3 tbs. whole wheat flour

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups raw milk

1 jar (14 oz) artichoke hearts

Cayenne Pepper

6 slices homemade bread (we used 2)

Preheat oven to 425. In a large saucepan heat butter until barely melted and pour half of it in a bowl and set aside. Add garlic and flour to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute, don't let it brown. Gradually add milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it thickens, about 3 minutes. Stir in green beans and artichoke hearts and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish.

Toss bread crumbs in bowl with butter and put on top of casserole. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
