For extra flavor, try using a combination of shredded Gruyere and Parmesan cheese on top. If you don't have time to make homemade fried onions, high-quality store-bought crispy fried onions can be substituted, but the homemade version is highly recommended for superior taste and texture. To prevent the fried onions from becoming soggy, make sure they are completely cooled before adding them to the casserole. You can prepare the fried onions a day in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Homemade Fried Onions: In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a fork. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and pepper. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
03
StepDip each onion ring into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. (10 minutes)
04
StepCarefully add the coated onion rings to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, flipping once. (10 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the fried onions to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Once cooled, roughly chop about half of the onions into smaller pieces for the casserole filling. Reserve the remaining onions for topping. (5 minutes)
06
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
07
StepIn a medium bowl, gently stir together the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and the chopped fried onions. (5 minutes)
08
StepTransfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. (2 minutes)
09
StepBake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. (25 minutes)
10
StepRemove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese and reserved crispy fried onions evenly over the top. (2 minutes)
11
StepReturn the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. (10 minutes)
12
StepRemove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a light sprinkle of paprika and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
