Using fresh green beans with homemade fried onions definitely tastes better than the canned in the casserole.

Steps

1

Wash & trim your green beans. Preheat oven to 350. Bring cold water to a boil & blanch green beans for 3 minutes, strain & set aside. In a pan or Dutch oven, cook bacon until crispy. Add onions & cook 5-7 minutes.
2

Add seasonings, I also added about a 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes. Pour in cream of mushroom, milk and stir. Add 1/3 cup of cheese (I used white cheddar) and mix again.
3

Add green beans and toss. Add to a casserole dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in oven for 25-35 minutes.
4

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Transfer onions to a bowl with milk, salt & pepper. Add flour and extra pepper if desired.
5

Fry onions until golden brown, place on cooling rack to cool. Top casserole with onions when ready to serve.
