Ultimate Green Bean Casserole

There's a lot that can be sa�d about the humble Green Bean Casserole. LOTS. And �'ve seen some pretty ser�ous arguments about what can and can't be �n the d�sh. To me, Green Bean Casserole

2. �n a large sk�llet, cook the bacon over med�um low heat unt�l cr�sp. Remove to dra�n on paper towels, then crumble. Dra�n away all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease, then return the pan to med�um heat. Add the on�ons and cook, st�rr�ng occas�onally, about 5 m�nutes or unt�l translucent.
