Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season it with a pinch of salt. Add the green beans and blanch them for 4-5 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the blanched green beans to the sauce, and toss until fully coated.
Transfer the green bean mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle half of the crispy fried onions over the green bean mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the mixture is bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining crispy fried onions evenly over the top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown.
Let the green bean bake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
