Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch fresh green beans for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  4. Stir in condensed cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and buttermilk. Heat over medium-low for 5-8 minutes until warmed and bubbling.
  5. Mix in blanched green beans, shredded Monterey Jack, and ¾ cup of crispy fried onions. Stir until evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Sprinkle remaining crispy fried onions on top and return to oven for another 10 minutes for extra crunch.
  8. Let the casserole cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley.
