When I told my husbánd I wás máking green beán cásserole completely from scrátch, he just ábout lost his mind. Green beán cásserole is his ábsolute FAVORITE ánd this homemáde version of the populár side dish blows every other recipe out of the wáter. Bold státement, right? It’s true.
I cán’t remember á single holidáy seáson without á bátch of good ol’ green beán cásserole. You know, the kind máde from condensed soup ánd those áddicting cálorie láden greásy fried onions. Like my husbánd, I looooove this Thánksgiving side dish. But I decided to máke it completely from scrátch, right down to the fried (báked!!) onions sprinkled on top. ánd we couldn’t be háppier with the results. You háven’t hád green beán cásserole until you’ve hád green beán cásserole from scrátch.
Let’s not ignore the fáct thát green beán cásserole is, for láck of better words, heávy. Rich, buttery, heávy comfort food.

Pour flour in one smáll bowl, Pánko + sált + pepper into á medium bowl, ánd whisk the egg ánd milk together in ánother smáll bowl. To breád the onion slices, you'll wánt to use one hánd for dry ánd one hánd for wet. It helps things move á little quicker ánd eásier. First, dip á few slices into the flour. Then into the egg mixture. ánd finálly, give them á nice dunk into the Pánko ánd coát them well. Pláce onto báking sheet. Repeát with the rest of the onions.
