French Onion Green Bean Casserole

This French Onion GreenBean Casserole is a stellar replacement for the popular green bean casserolewith the cream of mushroom soup and the crispy French fried onions.  I used to make that old classic frequentlybefore having to adopt a gluten free lifestyle. Beyond the original casserole not being gluten free it can also be alittle run of the mill.  This updatedversion borrows elements of French onion soup to create a casserole that mightjust upstage the old classic.  With caramelizedonions, gruyere cheese and a crispy bread crumb topping, this casserole has theflavor of French onion soup in a green bean casserole that’s outstanding.  And this one might have a holiday feel butit’s simple enough for weeknight meals too. Once you try this casserole I don’t think you’ll miss the old classic.
