Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

- Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes until they start to release their moisture.
- Pour in the mushroom broth, thyme, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the coconut creamer and simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Spread the cooked green beans in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the mushroom-onion mixture over the green beans.
- Add the cooked rice, spinach, and tuna, gently mixing them into the casserole.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- While the casserole is baking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining ½ onion and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and crispy.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and top with the crispy onions. Serve immediately.
