Notes

Notes:
 
*If using fresh green beans: Bring a large stock pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook green beans for 3-4 minutes and transfer into a large bowl filled with ice water. This will stop the cooking process of the beans. Once cooled, drain and transfer beans to a separate large bowl.
 
*If making the recipe the night before, make up until step 4, cover with plastic wrap and wait to add the crunch onions until just before baking.
