Notes
- Green beans - Canned green beans are a great no-cook alternative to frozen or fresh beans. Apart from blanching, steaming is also a great option to cook them. Whole or cut green beans can be used in this recipe.
- Butter - Substitute butter with oil if you like.
- Mushrooms - Sliced mushrooms are a great addition. Sauté them alongside onions.
- More topping ideas - Breadcrumbs, crushed potato chips, cracker crumbs.
