In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. This creates the rich base for your creamy green bean casserole.
3. Combine Ingredients
Add green beans and half of the crispy fried onions to the sauce. Mix well for an even coating.

Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes.
5. Add Crispy Topping
Remove the casserole, top with the remaining fried onions, and bake for 5–10 more minutes until golden and crispy
