3. 3. Mix the cornstarch and 1/3 cup water together in a separate bowl. Slowly add to milk/broth mixture, stirring constantly. The mixture will begin to thicken.

5. 5. Transfer mixture into a square casserole dish and top with remaining french fried onions. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until onions are lightly browned.
