French Fried Onions
Adapted from an internet recipe.
A great alternative to the store bought onions. These are more flavorful and free of preservatives. These are common as topping on casseroles. I made these, as written, on 16 Aug 2022 for a Classic Green Bean Casserole, and the results were excellent!

While the oil is heating, Drain the onion rings and add to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the flour and toss to coat.
