Emerilized (from Scratch) Green Bean Casserole image

This is gonna make you think twice about green bean casseroles! When you start with fresh green beans, mix them with a homemade mushroom-béchamel sauce, gild the lily with some fontina cheese, and then top the whole thing with some crispy fried onion rings just like we make at Emeril's Restaurant in New Orleans - you won't even recognize this as an updated version of that tired old classic.
