Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously brush a 3-quart baking dish with butter. Prepare a bowl of salted ice water. Cook green beans in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until crisp-tender and dark green, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain; immediately transfer to ice water until thoroughly chilled.

Cook until thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir in nutmeg; season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture evenly over green beans in dish. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture evenly over top.

HOMEMADE BUTTERED BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• 1. Toast bread VERY lightly - on lightest setting - and allow to cool slightly. Spread each slice with soft butter, then dust with the Mrs. Dash seasoning. Cut each slice into quarters.
• 2. Drop bread a few pieces at a time into a food processor and pulse. Adjust your pulses depending on if you want fine or coarse crumbs.
• 3. These crumbs are very versatile. The longer you toast the bread, the dryer the crumbs. Or you can leave them untoasted for soft fresh crumbs. Use to top casseroles, souffles, add to savory puddings, and many other uses.
• 4. Store any extra in zip-top bags in the freezer.
