Tender green beans mingle harmoniously with earthy mushrooms, all enveloped in a velvety cheese sauce that's both rich and satisfying.

Instructions

    1.
    In a small saucepan, combine the stock, grated cheddar, and cream cheese. Stir well over low heat until smooth and the cheeses are fully melted and blended into the stock. Ensure the sauce is simmering gently to prevent burning. You may use chicken or vegetable stock based on preference.
    2.
    Thinly slice the onion. Add half of the sliced onion to the crockpot, followed by the frozen green beans. Slice the mushrooms and add them to the pot as well. Toss everything together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
    3.
    Pour the prepared creamy cheese sauce over the vegetables in the crockpot. Secure the lid and set the crockpot to low. Cook on low for 1 hour and 45 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
    4.
    After the initial cooking time, add the xanthan gum, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan to the crockpot. Stir thoroughly to combine. Replace the lid and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the mixture is piping hot. While this cooks, prepare the onion garnish.
    5.
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining sliced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent and golden, with slight browning at the edges. Sprinkle in the ground almonds and remaining grated Parmesan. Continue to sauté, stirring regularly until the crumb mixture is golden brown and crispy.
    6.
    Transfer the hot green bean casserole to a large serving dish. Generously sprinkle the toasted onion and almond mixture over the top. Serve hot as a delicious and satisfying Keto Thanksgiving side dish.
