Notes
Serve hot as a side dish; pairs well with roasted meats and mashed potatoes. For extra crunch, sprinkle additional fried onions on top before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months without toppings. Adjust cooking time if using frozen green beans.
