Step 2: Build the Creamy Base

  1. In a skillet, sauté chopped onion and garlic in a little butter until soft and fragrant.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine:
    • cream of mushroom soup
    • milk
    • sour cream
    • cheddar cheese
    • sautéed onion and garlic
    • salt & pepper
  3. Stir until everything forms a rich, creamy sauce.

Step 3: Mix the Casserole

  1. Fold the green beans into the creamy mixture, coating them evenly.
  2. Transfer everything into a buttered casserole dish (9×13 works well).

Step 4: Prepare the Topping

  1. In a small bowl, mix crushed crackers (or bread crumbs) with melted butter.
  2. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  3. Top with a layer of crispy fried onions for that golden crunch.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  3. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
