ONION RINGS: Slice onion into thinnest possible rings. Place in a shallow dish. Combine sour cream and broth until smooth and pour over onions. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. In a plastic bag, combine almond flour and salt. Heat oil to 375° in a deep saucepan. Remove a small handful of onion rings from cream mixture and shake off excess. Drop into almond flour, separate rings, and shake to coat. Drop a few rings at a time into hot oil and cook until golden. Remove from hot oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Repeat with remaining rings until all have been battered and fried. Use to top the casserole with.
CASSEROLE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in coconut flour until smooth, and cook for one minute. Stir in the salt, onion, and sour cream. Add green beans, and stir to coat. Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread shredded cheese over the top. Top with fried onions. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden and cheese is bubbly. Enjoy!
