Steps:
- 1. Green Onion Soup: Remove onions from package, wash, cut off end roots and cut approximately 2" in length. Use the green and white parts of the onions.
- 2. Place in medium sized pot and cover with water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add in about one tablespoon of bacon drippings (or oil if you rather).
- 3. Boil for an hour or so or until tender. To serve, dip onions with broth into a bowl and break up hushpuppies into the soup.
- 4. My Husband's Hushpuppies: In a small bowl mix in cornmeal, flour and salt. Add in enough beer to make it a tad bit soupy but not too soupy. Normally 1/2 to 2/3 can of beer is all you need. Do not overmix. Now drink the remaining beer.
- 5. Don't stir anymore. Just let it set for about 10 minutes undisturbed. ***NOTE***: You can use tap water rather than beer.
- 6. Heat shortening or oil. Stir a couple of times and then drop batter into hot grease by a tablespoon. Once they have fried for a few seconds, flip them over. Continue frying until golden brown.

MISS BROWN'S HUSHPUPPIES TWO WAYS
Whenever I have a fish fry, I have to have hushpuppies on the side. These are served with honey butter, but they are also great with tartar sauce. If you're a purist, I've included a plain version in addition to a fun Low Country twist with fresh okra in the batter.

Steps:
- For the hushpuppies: Pour enough oil to reach 3 inches up the sides of a Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, House Seasoning and baking powder in a medium bowl. Pulse the onions in a food processor until finely minced. Add to the cornmeal mixture and stir to combine. Add the egg and enough buttermilk to moisten into a batter. Separate half of the batter to another bowl, then stir the okra into one of the batters. (Make sure the batter isn't too thin. It should hold its shape when scooped out with a spoon.)
- Arrange some paper towels in a baking sheet and place a wire rack on top. Working in batches, drop heaping teaspoonfuls of each batter into the hot oil using a cookie scoop coated with nonstick cooking spray, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes depending on the size (see Cook's Note). Drain the hushpuppies on the wire rack.
- Meanwhile, make the whipped honey butter: Beat the butter and honey in a bowl with a hand mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Season with salt. Serve with the hushpuppies.
- Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Cook bacon in skillet until it begins to brown.
- Add onions, cooking until slightly translucent.
- Add beans, stirring occasionally, until beans are soft.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Use fresh green onions. Fresh green onions have a more intense flavor than dried onions, and they will give your hushpuppies a more vibrant color.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the hushpuppies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a hot skillet. A hot skillet will help the hushpuppies cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. Overcrowding the skillet will prevent the hushpuppies from cooking evenly.
- Serve the hushpuppies hot. Hushpuppies are best served hot, right out of the skillet.
Conclusion:
Bea's Green Onions Hushpuppies are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they have a delicious flavor that is sure to please everyone.
