Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
Fill a large pot with water, season generously with salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice.
Trim the ends of the fresh green beans. If using frozen green beans, they can be used as is.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they are tender and a brilliant green color.
Immediately transfer the green beans to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 2 minutes, then drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup milk, one 10.5 oz container of cream of mushroom soup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Add the drained green beans to the soup mixture and stir until they are evenly coated.
Transfer the coated green beans to a 1.5-quart casserole dish and press down lightly to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and give the beans a quick stir to ensure they are evenly warmed.
Top the casserole with 3/4 cup of crispy fried onions.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown.
Notes
Variations: Add fresh herbs like sage or thyme, 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or fontina), or 1/2 cup of toasted sliced almonds or walnuts for extra texture. Make Ahead: You can prepare the casserole (without the onion topping) up to a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Bake as directed when ready to serve. Freezing: The casserole can be frozen without the topping. Thaw completely before adding the onions and baking.
