Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the green beans to the ice bath. Let stand until completely cooled, about 2 minutes, then drain well.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, stir together the mushroom soup, milk, pepper, and salt until well combined. Stir in the cooled green beans until evenly coated, then transfer the mixture to a 1½-quart casserole dish.

  5. 5

    Bake until heated through and just starting to bubble at the edges, about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir the mixture, then sprinkle the fried onions over the top in an even layer. Continue baking until the onions are browned, about 5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
