Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 2
Add green beans to boiling water and cook until just tender, 5–6 minutes.
Step 3
Drain beans in a colander and set aside.
Step 4
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, 4 minutes.
Step 5
Add mushroom slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5–6 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
Step 7
Pour in milk slowly while stirring to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, 2–3 minutes.
Step 8
Add cooked green beans to the sauce and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 9
Transfer mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Scatter fried onions evenly over the top.
Step 10
Bake until the surface is golden and bubbling at the edges, 12–15 minutes.
Step 11
Let rest 2 minutes. Serve warm.
