This dish received a lot of compliments when I brought it to a cookout last weekend. People said they liked that it wasn't overpoweringly sweet, as some other bean casseroles can be, and they also commented that they loved the taste and crunchiness of the fried onion topping. And since it has hamburger in it, I could also use it as a main dish, just adding some corn or other veggie to round out the meal. Thanks for sharing your recipe -- we loved it as much as your friends and family do!
