The Secret is in the Crispy Onions

The creamy sauce and cheesy flavor are reasons enough to fall in love with this Green Bean Casserole but what elevates it the most are the salty and crispy onions on top. These little crunchers are absolutely delicious and can become the topping of many different dishes if you’re feeling creative. You can find them at Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, and other grocery stores. Beware, they are addictive.
