This is a sweet, savory and easy way to elevate the same old casserole. The best part is that you can make everything ahead of time to simplify preparing the rest of the meal.
We’ve prepared this recipe with our House Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Traditional 25 Star Balsamic but you can add even more depth of flavor by using Caramelized Onion Dark Balsamic and Shallot Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil!
For those of you that are purists about Green Bean Bake, you can still add crispy fried onions.
