    I love green beans and I really loved these! I just used a yellow onion and cut it up into medium sized pieces. I enjoyed the slight sweetness from the sugar. I have already made these twice! Thanks for the recipe.

    These were phenomenal! I didn't have cocktail onions, so substituted pearl onions. I was afraid they might be underdone, so I cooked them a little longer and broke them up a bit. Otherwise I followed the recipe, and they were delicious. No leftovers with this recipe! Thanks for sharing.
