2 cups all purpose flour
½ tbsp Kosher salt
1 tbsp black pepper course grind
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper optional
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Smoked Green Bean Casserole
4 cans cut greenbeans 14.5 cans

1 ½ tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
Fried Onion
Thinly slice your onions.
Transfer the sliced onions to a medium – sized bowl and pour the buttermilk over the top. Make sure the onions are fully-submerged and let them soak for 10 minutes (but not longer than 30 minutes).
In a medium sized bowl, combine the all purpose flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pot over medium high heat until it reaches 350°F.
Once the onions have soaked for 10 minutes, pull them out of the buttermilk and dredge them in the seasoned flour, then drop them in batches into the hot oil. Let them cook for about 5 minutes per batch until they reach a golden brown color.
Remove the fried onions from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel lined plate to cool while you prepare your casserole.
Smoked Green Bean Casserole
Pre-heat your smoker to 350°F.
In a casserole dish or aluminum tray, combine the cut green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and seasonings. Stir until well-combined and the green beans are fully coated.
Place your casserole directly on the grates of your smoker and let it smoke for 25 minutes.
Add the crispy fried onions all over the top of your casserole and let it continue to smoke for 10 more minutes until the onions are crispy and the casserole is slightly bubbly. Serve immediately.
