Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray on a 9x3-inch oven-safe baking dish and set it aside.
Casserole:
- In this category, we will use ingredients from the "Casserole" list. If you are using canned green beans, drain them and set them aside.
- If using fresh green beans, wash them and trim the ends.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with just a sprinkle of salt, and cook fresh green beans in the boiling water for 5-6 minutes, until green beans start to change color to deep green and become slightly tender. Stir occasionally.
- Drain green beans and immediately place them under cold water. Drain cold water and set green beans aside.
- Add cream of mushroom soup to a large bowl. Add milk and chicken broth and stir to combine.
- Add finely diced onion, garlic, thyme, paprika, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the green beans, cheddar cheese, and 1 cup of French fried onions to the bowl.
- Stir well to combine, and add the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Level the top with a spatula.
Topping:
- We will use ingredients from the "Topping" list in this category.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
- Distribute 1 cup of French fried onions (reserve the other cup for later) evenly on top of the casserole.
Bake:
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the cheese melts and the onions start to brown.
- Add the remaining cup of French fried onions and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
Homemade French Fried Onions:
- In this category, we will use ingredients from the "Homemade French Fried Onions" list. If you decide to make your own French fried onions, use this recipe.
- After slicing the onion rings, separate them into individual rings and add them to a large bowl.
- Add 2 cups of milk to the onion rings and let soak for 20 minutes.
- Mix flour, salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
- When ready to cook, add oil to a large, deep skillet over high heat (or deep fryer). If using a skillet, it should be 1/2 full with oil.
- Once the oil is hot, working in batches, add a handful of onion rings to the flour mixture, cover well, and shake any excess. Add the onion rings to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, stirring often.
- Remove the French-fried onions and place them on a baking sheet covered with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining onion rings.
