Modifications needed, but good
Creamy and close to the original. Reading previous posts, I decided to reduce the amount of milk to 2 cups, which was sufficient. Also watch closely when cooking onion rings so they won't burn. I added a little cheese to give a little different flavor.

Better Than Original!
Loved this recipe and will be using it in the future. I did beat an egg white into the buttermilk for the onion rings and I used panko bread crumbs. Be sure to add the milk slowly to ensure thickening and adjust amount as necessary.

So so good!
I made this the day before Thanksgiving and snuck a taste right out of the oven and it just tasted like peppered green beans. But then I ate it the next day and it was so delicious!! After reading the reviews, I used less milk and just eyeballed it. I also added pepper and garlic granules to taste. I will be making this every Thanksgiving from now on (and try not to burn the onion rings)!

No flavor
I was excited to make this recipe, and it looked delicious when it came out, but it completely lacked any flavor. Also, the recipe calls for too much milk, it was too soupy.
