How To Make Green Bean Casserole?

I know the famous white trash version, with the condensed soup and the French’s onions, but I want an alternative. Anyone know how I can retain this concept (and still use the onions) without using condensed soup? I avoid it because of the sodium, plus I’d rather use less processed ingredients. Except for the onion bits.
