  3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Top the bean mixture generously with French-fried onions.
  5. Cover the pot and bake for 60 minutes.

  7. Serve warm. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
