Instructions
Heat 2 Tbs. of butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onions; saute, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
Dump onions onto a large cookie sheet.
Add green beans, 3/4 cup water and a scant teaspoon salt to the unwashed skillet. Turn heat to high; cover and cook until wisps of steam escape around the lid. Set timer for 5 minutes; cook until bright green but tender.
Drain beans; transfer to cookie sheet with onions and spread out to cool. (Cooled vegetables can be covered loosely with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature up to 4 hours ahead.)
Microwave milk, chicken broth and mustard in a 1-quart Pyrex-type measuring cup until steamy.
Heat remaining 2 Tbs. of butter in the skillet.
Whisk in flour, then hot milk mixture, until smooth and simmering. (Sauce can be made up to 4 hours ahead: Cover surface directly with plastic wrap, to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate; return to a simmer before proceeding.)
Add beans and onions; simmer until sauce is thick enough to cling, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve immediately.
