Mix well: Stir all ingredients together until well combined and creamy. Ensure the green beans are evenly coated in the soup mixture.

Add topping: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining fried onions evenly over the top.
Bake again: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the fried onions are golden brown and crispy.
