Whisk in the sour cream and heavy cream and continue to cook an additional 3 minutes until thoroughly combined and thickened. Poor evenly over the green beans and mushrooms. Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for 20 minutes until bubbly throughout.
  4. While the casserole is cooking, cut the onion into thin slices and separate into rings. Coat evenly with coconut flour and fry in oil over medium high heat in small batches for 1-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain away excess oil on a paper towel and continue until all onion rings are fried. Top casserole with onion rings and serve immediately.


You can use fresh green beans for this recipe if desired. Trim ends and blanch in boiling water for 3-5 minutes before draining and adding to the casserole in step 1.
