Green Bean Casserole

Almost everyone loves a good green bean casserole. Some, though, don't like the 'traditional' Campbell's version with the mushrooms (something I myself am trying to come to terms with) and fried onions. For those people, I have a solution! And for everyone else who was like me and thought that green bean casserole didn't get better than French's and Campbell's combined -- have I got news for you! This feeds 8-10 and if green bean casserole just isn't the same without fried onion - just substitute!

**I apologize for the lack of a picture. I forgot until after it was too late (read: until after it was all gone).
