A homemade alternative to the Durkee brand. I use these for casserole recipes when I can keep them from being eaten first.

5 -6 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 large onions, sliced into thin rings
2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour (I use gluten-free)
oil (for frying)
salt

Directions

1
Soak the onions in the milk for 5 minutes.
2
Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep fryer.
3
Take a handful of onions and run them through the flour with a fork to coat.
4
Fry in batches in the oil, stirring as needed to brown evenly.
5
Drain on paper towels and season to taste.
6
Store in an air-tight container.

A little Season-All (any other kind of seasoning salt will do too) in the flour? HEAVEN. I usually bread and fry onions for my greenbean casserole but I like these even better and they were fun to make! They store well too. Would give this 10 stars if I could!

Green bean casserole is possible here (Peruvian jungle) now! These were a cinch to make, and they taste awesome. The only problem is, my wife and I ate them too quickly to use for anything else, so I'll have to make more!

I was caught making the classic green bean casserole for the holidays and didn't have the Durkees French Fried onions. I had no desire to run to the store so I tried these. They are much easier than I imagined. Cooked up a batch in just a few minutes. (and had to chase the kids out of the kitchen so I had some to cook with!) I salt and peppered the flour before cooking the onions. I will never buy them again! (just have to remember to double the batch...they are so addictive!)

I am currently living in Japan. There are no French Fried Onions at the market, so I thought I would give this a try. Thanks so much for saving my holidays, they wouldn't be the same without the green bean casserole! Would suggest cooking to the point of almost burning, otherwise they can become a little soggy.
