Notes

  1. If you're using fresh green beans, trim the ends and cut them into bite-sized pieces before adding them to the casserole.
  2. To make the casserole creamier, you can add 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the mixture before baking.
  3. If you're using frozen green beans, make sure to thaw them completely before using them in the recipe.
  4. For a more savory flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme to the green bean mixture.
  5. You can use any brand of fried onions for this recipe, but French's is the most commonly used.
  6. If you're short on time, you can skip the step of adding the fried onions to the mixture and simply sprinkle them on top of the casserole before baking.
  7. If you don't have a 9x13 inch casserole dish, you can use a smaller dish and adjust the baking time accordingly.
