Baked onions are lower in fat.

Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Prepare a large bowl with ice water to stop the cooking process of the green beans.

Trim the ends of 1 pound of green beans, making sure they are all the same length.

Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender and bright green.

Transfer the green beans directly into the ice bath to stop the cooking process for about 2 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup of milk, 1 (10.5 ounce) container of cream of mushroom soup, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.

Drain the green beans and add them to the soup mixture, stirring until evenly coated.

Transfer the mixture to a 1.5 quart casserole dish and tamp down to make it even.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes until the edges are bubbling.

After 30 minutes, stir the casserole and top with 3/4 cup of crispy fried onions.

Continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are nice and brown.
