Easy Peasy Crock Pot Pot Roast and Sour Cream Green Beans

I just made these two things for dinner last night, so what better dishes to use in my first post?! I have been making this pot roast for years. It is probably the easiest dish I make, and it is SO delicious. I have received many compliments on it. The sour cream green bean dish is like a green bean casserole w/ a new twist...very yummy!

Easy Peasy Crock Pot Pot Roast
1 roast (you choose the size and type)
1 envelope dry onion soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup (98% fat free works...that's what I normally use)
1 soup can water

Mix the dry onion soup, cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of water in the Crock Pot. Place roast in the pot and spoon some of the mixture over the top. Cook on low for 6-8 hrs.

Sour Cream Green Beans

3 cans French-style green beans
2 T margarine
2 T flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 T sugar
1 T onion flakes
1 pt (16 oz) sour cream (reduced fat works)
1 1/2 c crushed cornflakes , combined w/ 2 T melted margarine & 1 c grated sharp cheddar cheese

Combine margarine, flour, salt, pepper, sugar, onion flakes & sour cream in saucepan. Cook & stir until slightly thickened. Drain green beans & add to mixture. Pour into large, greased casserole dish. Cover w/ grated cheddar cheese. Sprinkle crushed cornflakes & margarine mixture over casserole. Bake 20 mins uncovered at 400F. ***Breadcrumbs can be substituted for the cornflake mixture***
