Ingredients

Cream of Mushroom Soup

  • 12 ounces mushrooms
  • 1 cup bone broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 of an onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 tablespoons oat flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fried Onions

  • 6 large onions
  • 5 cups avocado oil

Casserole

  • 3 pounds frozen green beans
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Cream of Mushroom Soup

  • Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
  • Finely chop the mushrooms and dice the onion. 
  • Once the pan is hot, add the chopped mushrooms and diced onion and sauté until they’re soft, about 8 minutes. 
  • Using the garlic press, press the garlic into the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Turn the skillet down to low and add the cream, broth, and flour, and quickly whisk to combine.
  • Bring the ingredients to a slow simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes on low heat, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Fried Onions

  • Thinly slice the onions into evenly sized pieces.
  • Pour the avocado oil into a large skillet and heat on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions.
  • Fry until the onions are turning golden brown and getting crispy, stirring frequently. With a batch this big it can take 25 minutes or longer depending on the size of your skillet, the temperature of the oil, and the thickness of your onion slices.
  • Once the onions are done, spread them out on a large plate or dish lined with paper towels to absorb access oil.

Casserole

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pour an inch of water in the bottom of a stockpot fitted with a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil on high heat.
  • Add the green beans to the steamer basket, cover, and cook for 7 minutes.
  • In a large bowl combine the steamed green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, coconut aminos, salt, pepper, and some of the fried onions. Stir to mix thoroughly.
  • Spread the mixture in a 9" x 13" glass baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Top the casserole with the remaining fried onions and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
