Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F).
Rinse the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. If desired, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, blanch the green beans for 5 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then toss the green beans in the butter to coat evenly. Transfer the beans to the mixing bowl with the soup mixture, and gently stir to combine.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) casserole dish. Pour the green bean mixture into the dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Top the green bean mixture with an even layer of fried onions, reserving about 50 grams for later use.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, uncovered.
After 25 minutes, sprinkle the reserved fried onions on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
