Repeat with remaining rings until all have been battered and fried. Use to top the casserole with.

Stir in the salt, onion, and sour cream. Add green beans, and stir to coat. Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread shredded cheese over the top. Top with fried onions. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden and cheese is bubbly. Enjoy!
