Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prep the Green Beans: Wash and trim your fresh green beans. Blanch them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then drain.
  3. Mix the Creamy Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
  4. Fold in the Beans: Gently fold the blanched green beans into the creamy sauce.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Layer half of the crispy fried onions and shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Add remaining fried onions a few minutes before finished.
