2. Mix the base:
In a large bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream (or milk), onion, garlic powder, and pepper. Fold in the cooked green beans until well coated.
3. Assemble the casserole:
Pour the green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish. In a separate bowl, prepare the stuffing mix by combining it with melted butter or warm broth until moistened. Spread the stuffing evenly over the green bean layer.

Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
5. Optional toppings:
Add shredded cheese or crispy onions in the last 5 minutes of baking for extra crunch and flavor.
