What kinda onions are this - green bean casserole recipe?

i want to try and do this recipe but I only seen onions in a bag in the grocery store - never in a can?





this is what it says:





1 can or jar (approx. 15 ounces) small whole onions, drained








1. can I use the onions in a mesh bag?





2. can I use fresh green beans instead of canned?





here is the actual recipe. if you have a better one for green bean casserole, post it, okay?

Those would be cocktail onions, generally used in a martini or a gibson. Look for them at a party store, liquor store, etc.What kinda onions are this - green bean casserole recipe?
i would just chop up approx. 15 ounces of onions from the mesh bag....onions are onions...If you were to use Fresh green beens i think you would have to first steam them or blanch them and then cook them in the green been casserole...
