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.
- While the casserole is cooking, cut the onion into thin slices and separate into rings. Coat evenly with soy flour and fry in oil 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.
