Add the chopped mushrooms to the mixture along with salt and black pepper.

Add the sliced onions and thyme to the mixture.

Stir in the chopped garlic and the chicken bone broth, adding more milk if needed to adjust consistency.

Add the blanched green beans to the mixture and combine thoroughly.

Transfer the mixture to a buttered casserole dish.

Cover and bake in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, sprinkle more fried onions on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown.

Let the casserole cool and set before serving.
