Step 1

In a large bowl, combine green beans, soup, 1 cup of cheese, garlic, and onion powder. Mix well. I usually do this the night before so that I don't have to bother on the morning of Thanksgiving.

Step 2

Transfer green bean mixture to a casserole dish. Top with remaining shredded cheese.

Step 3

Bake at 350, until bubbly and heated through, about 30 minutes. Add the French Fried onions and bake until onions are browned, usually 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Serve hot.
