Preparation

Step 1

PREP TIME: 25 MINUTES
TOTAL TIME: 50 MINUTES

PREHEAT the oven to 350°F. Grease a 1 1/2-to 2-quart shallow baking dish.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, HEAT 2 tablespoons of the butter or oil. Add the onion rings and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

PLACE the flaxseeds on a large plate. Add the browned onion rings and toss with the flaxseeds to coat. Set aside.

In the same skillet over medium-high heat, HEAT the remaining 2 tablespoons butter or oil. Cook the chopped onion and mushrooms for 8 minutes, or until most of the liquid has absorbed. Add the green beans and broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cream cheese until melted. Stir in the Parmesan and red pepper. Pour into the baking dish. Arrange the onion rings over the top.

BAKE for 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbling.
