1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

Put the green beans in a saucepan and add about 1/2 inch of water; bring to a boil. Cover and steam until the beans are tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain.
3

Combine the drained beans with the mushrooms in a bowl; toss to mix.
4

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and parsley; cook and stir until the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the flour until blended, then stir in the lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly so no lumps form.
5

Add the sour cream and stir until combined. Warm over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Add the green beans and mushrooms, stirring to coat.
6

Remove from the heat and briefly toss with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the French-fried onions. Spoon into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish; top with the remaining Cheddar and onions.
7

Bake in the preheated oven until the Cheddar is melted, about 15 minutes.

Serve and enjoy.
