I liked this alot! Very flavorful! I used a smaller pan for the green beans, since a 13x9 was too big to get an even layer of green beans on the bottom. Also, I used a little less onion than the recipe called for, and I used fresh grated parmesan cheese. Next time I will use more parmesan cheese to completely cover the greenish/brownish color of the onions and green beans, and maybe even mix some in with the green beans in addition to the top for extra flavor. I will definitely make this again!
I love caramelized onions and green beans so I had great hopes for this dish. I knew the balsamic vinegar would add sweetness and had thoughts of omitting the sugar. Instead, I used just 1/4 tsp sugar and it was way too sweet for us. Salt and pepper was added to the onions with the garlic tossed in at the end of caramelizing so it would not burn and be bitter. A quick broil to melt the cheese and roast the tomatoes would save cook time.
Was looking for a recipe to use up some cherry tomatoes and I found this one. This is moving to the top of my side dishes list. It's excellent.
This recipe is such a great alternative to the soupy creamy green bean casserole that most people have at Thanksgiving. I've made this several times since the summer and it's always a hit. I use a whole tomato and just thinly slice it and put it over the green beans and it's delicious. Thanks!!
First time we have tried green beans like this and we loved them. I did scale the recipe down to about 6 servings for just two of us then the leftovers were warmed on the grill and served with burgers for a lovely lunch outside Used pink himalayan salt for the boiling water and had no problem with bland green beans. Also had a very nice aged balsamic from a speciallty store so did not add the sugar. I prefer red onions and was liberal with the cheese. Great combination of flavors, easy to put together and with fresh tomatoes out of gardens this casserole will be over the top. Made and reviewed for the Alphabet Tag game.
I think I must have overcooked this because it was kind of dry
Really good. Cooked the onions in butter, doubled the cheese, and packed on the tomatoes. Yum
We loved the caramelized onion portion of this recipe although I did cook mine about twice as long but we found the beans bland. It needed something to tie the layers together
Ok but it took a whole cup of shredded parmesan cheese to put even a thin layer on 9x13 pan. 1/4 cup would only cover a fourth of the top and it sure wouldn't have looked as it did in the photo. nor tasted right.
