Everyone knows the best part about this timeless side dish is the crispy, crunchy fried onions. But if you’ve been holding back due to dietary restrictions, this gluten-free green bean casserole can be your new standby. Homemade fried onions are easier than you think and can easily be achieved with a little help from a box of gluten-free Bisquick™. Fry up a batch in your Dutch oven and sprinkle on top of the creamy, green beans for an unbeatable classic that makes any meal memorable.

Ingredients

Fried Onions

Vegetable oil for frying
2

large onions, cut in half, thinly sliced (3 cups)
1 1/2

cups milk or buttermilk
3/4

cup Bisquick™ Gluten Free mix
3/4

teaspoon salt
1/4

teaspoon pepper

Green Beans

2

bags (12 oz each) frozen cut green beans, cooked
1

can (18 oz) Progresso™ Vegetable Classics creamy mushroom soup
2

teaspoons gluten-free soy sauce
1/4

teaspoon pepper

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Place onions and milk in medium bowl; let stand. In deep fryer or 4-quart Dutch oven, heat oil (2 inches) to 375°F.
2

In resealable plastic food storage bag, mix Bisquick, salt and pepper until well mixed. Drain onions. Place onions in bag; shake to coat. Remove onions from bag shaking off excess. Gently place half of onions in oil; fry 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining onions. Let onions stand while preparing bean mixture.
3

In ungreased 3-quart casserole, mix soup, soy sauce, pepper, cooked green beans and 1 1/2 cups of the onions. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly, adding remaining onions during last 5 minutes of baking.

Recipe Tips

tip 1

In a hurry? Skip making the Fried Onions and use crushed gluten-free onion flavored potato chips instead!
tip 2

Cooking Gluten Free? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
tip 3

Any cream-style canned soup makes just the right sauce for the beans—celery or chicken are equally good. An additional dash of garlic or celery salt is a nice flavor booster.
tip 4

The classic versions of this dish typically use canned or frozen green beans, and they result in a very tender and velvety textured casserole. We do not recommend substituting raw green beans in this particular recipe, as they’ll cook up to a different texture that might not be desirable. The bake time and temperature have not been developed to account for the needs of fresh green beans.
