Notes
To avoid a soggy casserole, make sure to thoroughly drain the canned green beans and don't overdo the milk. If the onions start to brown too quickly, loosely tent the casserole with aluminum foil for the last few minutes of baking. For added flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of hot sauce. The casserole can be assembled ahead of time (without the final layer of French fried onions), covered tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
