Delicious Alternatives to French Fried Onions in Green Bean Casserole

French’s French Fried Onions have long been the go-to topping for green bean casserole, but what if they’re not available or don’t suit everyone’s taste buds? Blair Lonergan, founder of The Seasoned Mom, suggests exploring creative alternatives for a delightful twist to your Thanksgiving side dish.

Instead of scrambling for sold-out fried onions, consider these easy and flavorful substitutes from your pantry:

 

1.Butter + Ritz Cracker Crumbs:

   Swap in the rich, buttery taste and crunch with a topping of butter and coarsely crushed Ritz cracker crumbs.

 

2.Coarsely Crushed Potato Chips:

   Elevate your casserole with the crispy goodness of coarsely crushed potato chips for a savory twist.

 

3.Butter + Corn Flakes Cereal Crumbs:

   Achieve a delightful texture by using a mixture of butter and crushed Corn Flakes cereal as a tasty alternative.

 

4.Butter + Panko Breadcrumbs with Garlic or Onion Powder:

   Enhance the flavor with buttery Panko breadcrumbs, adding a dash of garlic powder and/or onion powder to taste.

 

These options, recommended by Lonergan, maintain the rich, buttery taste and satisfying crunch that we all love in traditional fried onions. Lauren Allen, the creator of Tastes Better From Scratch, suggests trying sautéed diced onions in butter or oil for a flavorful yet crunchy alternative.

 

For those with a penchant for meat, Allen proposes crumbled cooked bacon as a game-changing addition to your green bean casserole. The bacon not only contributes crunch but also introduces saltiness and a smoky flavor that complements the dish perfectly.

 

So, whether you’re dealing with last-minute shopping challenges or catering to diverse tastes, these innovative substitutes ensure your green bean casserole remains a star at the Thanksgiving feast. Get creative, clear some room in your fridge for leftovers, and savor a new twist on a classic favorite.
