I used to think of young Alton as akin to Bill Nye… sweet to a fault, and geared toward the learning of children. I’ve learned he’s actually closer to Gordon Ramsey… patient when children or younger learners are involved, but an absolute tyrant otherwise!
As you can see here, the joke comes mainly from the comically large spoon. Alton wants to eat a spoonful of the green bean casserole, and his friend says "fine, but only a spoonful". However, his friend did not specify how large a spoonful really is. Alton then proceeds to pull out a comically large spoon, shattering everyone's expectation of what a spoonful really is.
Thanks for the insightful remark, Pete. This one almost went over my head. In case you were wondering, something going over someone's head is known as an idiom, one which means that the expression is too complex for someone to understand. Think of it this way: if head height equates to intelligence, then something over your head means you are not smart enough to look at it. Happy holidays everyone.
Also, two large onions is a dangerous measurement. My grocery store has GIGANTIC onions, and the recipe I used this year also called for two large onions. I only needed to fry one which gave plenty for filling the casserole, topping it, and snacking. Two would have made it a fried onion casserole with green beans mixed in.
This is why I love it when you cook.... you make me think that I can actually make something like cream of mushroom soup, and homemade crispy onions. Rock On!
@@ryanspencerlauderdale687 OMG. Are you telling me that all you people love watching all these cooking vids and CAN'T COOK? Jesus! The fried onions that he did are so basic that a 5 year old can do it . And as far as the mushroom soup goes, You just have to add cream to ANY vegetable and you have cream of whatever soup. Man is everyone that inept when it comes to cooking nowadays? That is scary to say the least.
@@kieranjanczur8069 Yeah I know but don't you want to say it the OTHER way sometimes? I am usually doing the "nice way" but I am fed up with the stupid comments from people that obviously watch ALL KINDS of cooking shows and know NOTHING about cooking. How does that even happen? You can see it on every cooking channel. Thanks for the reply by the way, and I hope stuff goes good for you. Especially if you make Bean Casserole.
I made this exact recipe for Thanksgiving so thank you for uploading a video of it. I will tell you though, instead of the vinegar I used Worcestershire sauce and I used rice flour for both the onions and the beans so the entire dish was gluten free (I have celiac, so had to go this route). Still, it thickened up perfectly and tasted AMAZING!
I have a new can of the store bought ones in the cupboard, but can't use it now because shame. I probably have to eat them by myself before I go to bed to hide the evidence.
When I worked at the grocery store back in high school days, when the 15 minute break came up, was off to the back of the store to grab a can of the onions and a glass bottle of Coke off the shelf. That combo could cure most anything. 😄
Happy Holidays to you and Elizabeth. Thank you for all the time you gave of yourself this past year to your many fans. I appreciated having Tuesdays to look forward to.
Same. My then boyfriend had brought back a 'Good Eats' DVD set from a stay in America...we would binge watch the show every weekend (no Netflix back then and UA-cam wasn't really a thing yet, either). Delighted to discover, he's still around!
Its not that they should not do QQ anymore, its that I have really missed these short, sweet and quick quips of 4th wall humor. Entertaining and yet very informative. I've been missing these. Not all of us have an hour or more PER episode.
@@alaboutfood2326 That's the joy of You Tube. You can watch the recorded version in short snippets if you need to. I have enjoyed spending my Tuesday evenings with the Browns. I don't care how long they want to go on. I have nothing else to do! lol
Happy Holidays to you, Elizabeth, Scabigal and Frannie 🥂 hope all is well with you all ❤️ My Christmas wish is to have you all back on QQ in the New Year 🤞🎁
Alton Brown is more interesting than many TV shows, food related or not. Alton and America’s Test Kitchen are the best. Intelligent, fun and teaching us why and how to get the best results. I laughed when he referred to the ingredients as “software”.
“Hiiiii, I am gluten free, lactose intolerant, and I don’t eat anything else that you have to chew and digest but can you make me something to eat right now right away I am in a rushhh”
@Nathan Jacobson hmmm very classy to disrespect the dead. Anthony bourdain was unapologetic in everything he did, even in cooking. He wasn’t this cookie cutter guy like Bobby flay or Rachel ray. He taught me to love other cultures outside of the US and to enjoy other peoples food. That’s why I loved him so much. Alton brown made me feel a sense of peace and welcoming, he reminds me a lot of my dad.
To me Alton Brown is and will always be more appealing entertaining and relatable than Anthony Bourdain. Some people like/love Bourdain but for me Jedi Master Alton is my favorite cook and educator.
Due to this pandemic I had the opportunity to make my first Thanksgiving day meal of my very own. I made your first version of this and it was baller! Can't wait to try this updated version!
I made this for Thanksgiving, it was first time making from scratch like this and everyone loved! It made me feel good that I was able to pull this off.
I'm with you on your sentiments at the end: Just give me green bean casserole with extra onions and I don't need anything else (but I'll have mashed potatoes if they're around).
Very fun video and the onions look really good! You call this a Holiday Classic, I did not grow up with this, neither did my husband. Then suddenly it was everywhere. If anyone knows where this came from & when, it would be Alton. I would like to know some of it's history. It feels like it was invented by a soup company or maybe the fried onion guys....
Well, I have to say, I am a big fan of unfiltered QQ, but , it is nice to see Alton at least pretending like he is in a good mood. Sorry man, I know you got a lot going on with you right now, we just been worried about you.
Transcendently happy that I didn't encounter or even know about this dish before I was in my 40's. The absolute best example of midwesterners not knowing how to treat a vegetable. "How about boilin' it?" Nah. "How about fryin' it?" Nah. "How about adding cheese?" Nah. Let's do all of 'em at once!
Im known for my gbc here's a few tips to improve the experience... 1. use chicken broth for the beans 2. Use an onion flavored crunchy snack to mix in and not just literal fried onions bc they get soggy too fast. 3. Use 2 cans of Campbell's cream of mushroom, it's an American staple and tastes great. 4. Use shredded cheddar cheese mix some in and sprinkle heavily on top towards end of cooking
I come here for Mr Brown's amazing recipes, food insight, and showmanship. The rest is noise. Mr. Brown, you keep being you and thank you for sharing your knowledge! It's made me a better cook.
Thank you for the new videos. It doesn't make up for the fact that we haven't seen QQ in weeks or why the rest of the new season of Good Eats hasn't aired. Thank you for the proof of life however.
Great recipe- I'm most impressed that you made cream of mushroom soup but my wife has issues with you onion frying. She's Asian so she knows what's up!
I’ve watched a few recipes for GBC and Alton makes it all from scratch. All the others were much easier but they all used canned green beans. If you want to go through the extra steps, this recipe is miles ahead of all the others. Talk about good old fashion, comfort food goodness. Alton is the man!
Thanks so much for this recipe Alton. My wife and I have done this recipe three times now and it has become a staple for our family. Absolutely a hit with everyone!
Thank you Alton!, truly a classic side dish and your fresh approach always pleases.. Like all of QQ crew here I wish you, Elizabeth and the kids safe and Happy Holidays.
Made this for Thanksgiving for the first time. It was fantastic. Definitely the best non-canned soup version I've made in my years making GBC. It's worth the time to do this one!
Awesome as always Alton. You are a true legend of television cooking. Been watching since I was twelve. I will note that I cheat sometimes with those french’s onions from the can. I’m even shameless enough to use Funyuns. GOOD EATS
I used to watch Alton Brown (good eats) with my dad when I was a kid and I love that he's still cooking for us. He's evolved in the same way as Bill Nye and I love it. Thank you Alton Brown for making age appropriate cooking content throughout the years ❤
I liked young Alton brown but old Alton Brown just gets better
He's like a fine wine only gets better with time.
I used to think of young Alton as akin to Bill Nye… sweet to a fault, and geared toward the learning of children. I’ve learned he’s actually closer to Gordon Ramsey… patient when children or younger learners are involved, but an absolute tyrant otherwise!
It’s just hilarious when he takes the piss from his younger self.
Totally agree. I feel like he could front a hardcore band and fit in just fine.
Like fine wine 😊
"hey can I have some of your green bean casserole"
"fine, but only a spoonful"
*Alton pulls out a comically large spoon*
As you can see here, the joke comes mainly from the comically large spoon. Alton wants to eat a spoonful of the green bean casserole, and his friend says "fine, but only a spoonful". However, his friend did not specify how large a spoonful really is. Alton then proceeds to pull out a comically large spoon, shattering everyone's expectation of what a spoonful really is.

Think of it this way: if head height equates to intelligence, then something over your head means you are not smart enough to look at it. Happy holidays everyone.
The council has determined that a comically large spoon still technically counts as a "spoonful"
All I want for Christmas is for QQ to come back hope you and Elizabeth are well🎄🦌🎄
zen moon Master yes
I totally agree! Made my week.
Elizabeth indicated they'd be back at it in the new year. Until then, Merry Christmas to the Brown-Ingram-ses!
I’m with you Miss QQ
Please bring QQ back. We miss you two!
The last time we fried our own onions, we had to do a whole extra onion. The snacking potential is dangerous!
LOL. I can totally see that. :-)
Also, two large onions is a dangerous measurement. My grocery store has GIGANTIC onions, and the recipe I used this year also called for two large onions. I only needed to fry one which gave plenty for filling the casserole, topping it, and snacking. Two would have made it a fried onion casserole with green beans mixed in.
♥️♥️♥️
@@BioYuGi ... fried onion casserole with green beans? I think I would prefer THAT! those fried onions are deeee-lish.
@@BioYuGi I don't think that'd be a bad thing!
This is why I love it when you cook.... you make me think that I can actually make something like cream of mushroom soup, and homemade crispy onions. Rock On!
Damn. He fried up his own crispy onion topping. What an absolute beast.
You can do it as well! :D
And made his own cream of mushroom soup. Beast mode.

Nice idea, I wasn't about to buy special vinegar for this.
I just use red wine vinegar
Have a wonderful season, we look forward to seeing you and Elizabeth soon 💕
He admitted it! He only eats the cassarole for more fried onions!
don't we all?
You don't? I do really like the whole package, but it's the onions that set it apart.
I cut to the chase and just buy the fried onions... easy peasy...
I watched this on an empty stomach. Thought I learned my lesson watching "Good Eats" years ago. Heading to kitchen now.
I have a new can of the store bought ones in the cupboard, but can't use it now because shame. I probably have to eat them by myself before I go to bed to hide the evidence.
Five Downvoters obviously work for French's or Campbell's Soup.
Or Del Monte
They just wanted the recipe to have gluten, dairy, fat, AND meat
The Man
The Myth
The Legend
Ladies & Gentlemen
Mr Alton Brown 👍
I related so hard to the last 10 seconds. I will literally eat crunchy fried onions by the fistfull if there's no one to stop me.
When I worked at the grocery store back in high school days, when the 15 minute break came up, was off to the back of the store to grab a can of the onions and a glass bottle of Coke off the shelf. That combo could cure most anything. 😄
Happy Holidays to you and Elizabeth. Thank you for all the time you gave of yourself this past year to your many fans. I appreciated having Tuesdays to look forward to.
This is definitely going on the holiday menu this year. Happy holidays to you and Elizabeth!
Yes more Alton Brown! My biggest inspiration/teacher for cooking, second only to my mother
Way better than my mother or g/m or great g/m. Go Alton!
Watch his grilled cheese video, you wouldnt say that after watching it. Lol
@@kamikazekrunch8363
There was way to much bread... and not enough cheese 😑
If you think for a second this video will distract me from the fact that QQ is on a hiatus, then you are completely right!
No, but it will help. Miss Alton and Elizabeth and the puppies
I remember watching Alton like 20 years ago. Loved him then. Love him now. Great dude for cooking.
Same. My then boyfriend had brought back a 'Good Eats' DVD set from a stay in America...we would binge watch the show every weekend (no Netflix back then and UA-cam wasn't really a thing yet, either).
Delighted to discover, he's still around!
He was my favorite on the Food Network I think it was called.
Come back to Quarantine Kitchen! We miss you!
Elizabeth tweeted that they would be back after the first of the year. :)

Ugh now I'm hungry.
I'm sure we've all *bean* there.
All I want for Christmas is our Brown family back on Tuesday nights.
I haven’t been this sober in a long time, need my excuse back for Tuesday
I hoped that you and Elizabeth are well 💙💙💙...but...I really need QQ to resume asap 🙏🙏🙏
A national treasure. Referring to Mr. Brown AND green bean casserole.
Alton Brown is more interesting than many TV shows, food related or not. Alton and America’s Test Kitchen are the best. Intelligent, fun and teaching us why and how to get the best results. I laughed when he referred to the ingredients as “software”.
Whenever Alton drops a video you know it’s going to be a good day
Ditto.
“Hiiiii, I am gluten free, lactose intolerant, and I don’t eat anything else that you have to chew and digest but can you make me something to eat right now right away I am in a rushhh”
Lol 😂
How about these Ice cubes? They go wonderful with Karens.
That will be 39$ thanks. ;)
*cracks an egg into a glass* Enjoy.
Bahaha! Yes & can I get a discount? I'm an "influencer". Lol.
Your name is clearly either Karen or Marsha.
Eating with the serving spoon?? Okay, Cookie Monster, we see what you did there... ROFL
Alton brown was one of my favorite chefs alongside Anthony bourdain! Every time I see this mans face, I feel nostalgic.
@Nathan Jacobson hmmm very classy to disrespect the dead. Anthony bourdain was unapologetic in everything he did, even in cooking. He wasn’t this cookie cutter guy like Bobby flay or Rachel ray.

Hello
Yum 🤤 one of my favorite things to make during the holidays is your cornbread pudding! Thanks AB. Cheers! 🎄🥃
Hello

I tried to make homemade once, this looks so much better. Miss quarentine quetchin. Hoping all is well and we get to see you both soon. 🥂🍻
He's back is Quarentine Quitchen coming back we miss you and Elizabeth every Tuesday night! Are you coming back tonight?
I'm with you on your sentiments at the end: Just give me green bean casserole with extra onions and I don't need anything else (but I'll have mashed potatoes if they're around).
Come back with Quarantine Kitchen! One is only cancled if they go away! We miss you.

Merry Christmas, Alton!
Miss you and Elizabeth on QQ. Hope to see more episodes.
As others have stated, We miss QQ and wish you both a Merry Christmas!
I’m gluten, dairy, egg, and soy free. I watched to the end. I just like AB
Me too. I have been watching a long time
Well, I have to say, I am a big fan of unfiltered QQ, but , it is nice to see Alton at least pretending like he is in a good mood. Sorry man, I know you got a lot going on with you right now, we just been worried about you.
Very well said Falcar....I miss QQ very much too...
Hope you’re well. Miss you and Elizabeth on QQ. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy, healthy 2021.
Transcendently happy that I didn't encounter or even know about this dish before I was in my 40's. The absolute best example of midwesterners not knowing how to treat a vegetable.
"How about boilin' it?" Nah.
"How about fryin' it?" Nah.
"How about adding cheese?" Nah.
Let's do all of 'em at once!
You had me at fresh cream of mushroom soup. The green beans are just a bonus.
Happy Holidays to Elizabeth and you. Hope that you have a wonderful time.

👍 Absolutely!
Alton you should have kept all of your social posts POSTED. Why censor yourself, be yourself dude. You didn't say anything wrong.
I've made the OG Good Eats version for a few years and always had issues with the onions...this method is so much better!
Now this, this is good, lockdown Alton brown bingewatchingmarathon has begun.
Thank you for the new videos. It doesn't make up for the fact that we haven't seen QQ in weeks or why the rest of the new season of Good Eats hasn't aired. Thank you for the proof of life however.
Figures he would start his video with, "One of the problems with..."
Bring back QQ, we miss and need you in... Nope, not going to say it.. we just need in these times!
I've got one of my relatives in the starting a sourdough starter and he's going to make a lofe for Christmas so excited 😂😂
I've been making your 1.0 version for years...will definitely have to try the 2.0 version
Looks same to me. What is the difference?
www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/best-ever-green-bean-casserole-recipe-1950575.
Basically how he makes the onion topping is different
Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄
Great recipe- I'm most impressed that you made cream of mushroom soup but my wife has issues with you onion frying. She's Asian so she knows what's up!
I love his recipe,,, I haven’t cooked one of his that I wouldn’t eat just toooooooo yummy
I just really hate mushrooms... Any substitution suggestions?
I have no idea why, but I find that time lapse noise very pleasing.
Welcome back Alton! Thanks for the vids and recipes and keep em coming please : )
I’ve watched a few recipes for GBC and Alton makes it all from scratch. All the others were much easier but they all used canned green beans. If you want to go through the extra steps, this recipe is miles ahead of all the others. Talk about good old fashion, comfort food goodness. Alton is the man!
Alton forgot to add kale.
And Kimchi
Another great vid. Happy Cookingdays Alton, Elizabeth & Pups!
So true... you know we all secretly just wanna eat the crispy onions 😉
Yes! The rest of it is just there to have a place to pile them onto.
Love Alton...but nope...I'm sticking with my French's Onions and Jolly Green green beans....cause...it's what I like.
Tasty food, Thanks for sharing.
how does Alton manage to long younger now than he looked in the early 2000s
I just realized I never finished watching Air Fryer part 2! Gotta run!
This wasn't really a normal holiday dish up here in Canada, at least in my family. So I may have to try this!
Love your recipe. Yum. My niece makes hers homemade also. She added cheese this past time. And it was soooo good.
I love it! I would use GF AP flour but yeah this rocks. Sending all best to you, Elizabeth, Scabagail, and Frannie!
Hello
3:20 BAM!
I’m surprised that Alton didn’t start his own UA-cam channel sooner.
Happy Holidays, Alton 😁...will try your recipe...made it once and it was liquidy 😐
Hello
Also if you're stuck with a bunch of leftover, demonic dressing, I've found mixing it into a green-bean casserole is a good way to help choke it down.
Thanks so much for this recipe Alton. My wife and I have done this recipe three times now and it has become a staple for our family. Absolutely a hit with everyone!
Thank you Alton!, truly a classic side dish and your fresh approach always pleases.. Like all of QQ crew here I wish you, Elizabeth and the kids safe and Happy Holidays.
Green beans are irrelevant in this recipe
More QQ! More QQ! More QQ! More QQ! MORE QQ!!
Made this for Thanksgiving for the first time. It was fantastic. Definitely the best non-canned soup version I've made in my years making GBC. It's worth the time to do this one!
I really hope y’all come back to QQ after the holidays. We miss y’all!
Hello
Awesome as always Alton. You are a true legend of television cooking. Been watching since I was twelve. I will note that I cheat sometimes with those french’s onions from the can. I’m even shameless enough to use Funyuns. GOOD EATS
I don't know how you did it, but you made green bean casserole look amazing! Also, never seen anyone make their own fried onions.
Love me some green bean casserole it’s just a memory of my childhood
2 of my coronary arteries just clogged, while watching this video....
I make this every year, but use French’s fried onions. The DIY fried onions are just too prone to burning to bother with.
Now all this video needs is the strange looking thumbnail
I used to watch Alton Brown (good eats) with my dad when I was a kid and I love that he's still cooking for us. He's evolved in the same way as Bill Nye and I love it. Thank you Alton Brown for making age appropriate cooking content throughout the years ❤
so making this for christmas
No giblets? Man, I still crack up when I think of the Giblets Agent from AB's old Thanksgiving special.
*You literally had me "Laughing Out Loud" @ **5:20** !*
*Thanks for the great (as always) recipe.*
*Thumbs up # 1.6K+1*
I haven’t seen him in years and realized how much I miss him. Always a great presentation and thoughtful nuances, thank you
That gets the job done.👍
Booooo! No cheese. Its not green bean casserole without cheese
Oh my, I have to try this.
