How to Make Irresistible Rich French Onion Green Bean Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
  2. Trim the ends of the fresh green beans, then blanch them in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Shock them in ice water.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans with your caramelized onions, heavy cream, garlic powder, and half of the shredded cheese.
  4. Pour the green bean mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
  5. Generously sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese and French fried onions over the top.
  6. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown.
