- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and blanch them for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately place the beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain them again.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until you have a smooth sauce.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently fold the blanched green beans into the mushroom sauce until they are evenly coated.
- Pour the green bean mixture into the greased casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the crispy fried onions over the top, and if desired, add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese for an extra kick of flavor.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it’s bubbling and the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Green Bean Casserole!
