  • Melt ½ tablespoon of bacon fat in a skillet over medium heat and saute the onion until soft, but not browned.

  • Combine the cracker or bread crumbs with the butter and Parmesan, and add to the top of the casserole.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for about 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Notes

Double for a 9 x 13 inch dish. May substitute 1 pound package frozen green beans, cut or French style, cooked, or well drained cut green beans. Use ¼ cup standard or panko breadcrumbs instead of the cracker crumbs. Add ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs. If you prefer, bake first, then add the topping, and run under the broiler to brown.
