1. Cook bacon until it's crisp. I cut the bacon into smaller pieces to make it cook faster.
2. In the same pot (after draining bacon fat) melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir in flour until smooth and cook for one minute over medium heat. Stir in the salt, sugar, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
3. Add the green beans and half of the bacon. Stir to coat the beans well.
4. Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread cheese and remaining bacon over the top.
5. In a small bowl melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Toss the cracker crumbs and butter and then sprinkle over the top of the cheese.
5. Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
