Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh green beans
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 8 oz sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp butter
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Trim the ends off the green beans and blanch them by boiling in salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are softened and their liquid has evaporated, about 6-7 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and combined, then add grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated cheddar cheese, and melted butter to create a crumbly topping. Set aside.

Step 8

Transfer the blanched green beans into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the mushroom sauce over the green beans and toss gently to coat.

Step 9

Sprinkle the almond flour and cheddar cheese topping evenly over the casserole.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this creamy and delicious low-carb green bean casserole!
