If you’ve ever had a classic green bean casserole, you probably fall into one of two camps: You feel immensely nostalgic toward it, or you detest it with every fiber of your being. Luckily, both groups can enjoy this recipe. It tries to honor the original green bean casserole your mom or grandma made, but you can feel better about feeding it to your family or even your guests because it’s made from scratch instead of a can.
The only thing you can’t easily replicate or improve on by making it at home is the crispy onion topping, so that is store-bought — but you can always forego it or deep-fry some onions yourself if you’re so inclined.

3 tablespoons flour
