If green bean casserole is your favorite dish at Thanksgiving simply for the crunchy fried onions it's topped with, we feel you. We can't get enough of them and making your own is so easy! Watching the onions turn crispy golden brown is so satisfying. Place them on top of burgers, tacos, or eat them on their own. The possibilities are endless and we'll never be buying store bought again.
