    Very good. Read other reviews so reduced temperature to do the onions- reduced to 465. Next time I will try 400. Only took 20 minutes for the onions and some of them burned. Next time I will use my mandolin to slice the onions for a more uniform thickness. Panko and flour did not stick to the onions. Next time I will put a little oil on the onions before tossing with the flour and panko. I cooked the green beans 8 min instead of 5, which I would recommend.

    I made this for our family Easter meal and received many compliments. I really liked the fresh green beans and mushrooms. I also had difficulties with the homemade onions and will use some of the suggestions here next time.

    Delicious, will definitely make again, never ever will make that gooey other recipe again!
    Next time I will crush the panko breadcrumbs for better coverage. Thanks for such a tasty recipe.

    I made this for my husband and myself for the first time on Christmas. I didn't think it would be that great for leftovers, so I halved the recipe. I made it in a 10 inch cast iron skillet, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My only complaint was that it was a bit too thick, probably due to the additional surface area exposed in the oven. We both loved it though, and I will never use that 'other recipe' again! I invested in a mandolin slicer since then and I think it will help with the onion slices being more consistent. I only had a few that burned a bit, but I stirred them often, like the recipe recommended.

    This was the BEST green bean casserole. Lowered the temp on the onions and watched them and still had some crispies, but it was okay. We will try this come springtime with asparagus, which should be wonderful. I highly recommend this to all ...There really is no comparison between the canned version and this one...it is sublime!

    Delicious...I'll never used canned mushroom soup again! I did sub the canned fried onions for the homemade though.

    This was the best green bean casserole I have ever eaten . . . or made. I cheated a bit, and prepared things ahead of time. While baking pies the day before, onions were prepared and the beans were blanched/chilled . After the turkey went into the oven, I prepared the sauce, assembled the dish and set it aside. As soon as the turkey came from the oven, I cranked up the oven and heated the dish according to directions. The dish was a huge success. The crisp beans were covered with a thick, creamy sauce and chunks of mushrooms. The fresh onion topping was SO much better than the packaged onions. Even bean casserole 'haters' went back for seconds.

    This was a really easy recipe to make. Tasted really delicious. followed the recipe to a T. Only suggestion I'd make it cut the beans in 2 inch size, some of the green beans were really long.

    great recipe... I did follow some of the advice that other reviewers suggested... I reduced the oven temp to 425 for the onions, skipped the nutmeg and added a splash of worchester sauce instead. otherwise everything else was terrific and the dish is delish

    Delicious casserole! My onions came out good. The temperature for the onions is too high, instead of 475 degrees bake them at 375 degrees. They will take a bit longer to cook but will not burn. Also, make sure you have a good pan too cook them in, like an Airbake, that will help out a lot; they will not burn but cook evenly. I added one tablespoon extra of panko crumbs for extra crunch. For those who think it lacks flavor try it another time by adding some garlic powder (about 2 teaspoons and an extra dash of salt and you'll notice a difference in flavor. Remember, have patience, let the sauce thicken. You will enjoy this delicious side!
