Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and parsley; cook and stir until onion is tender. Whisk in flour until blended then mix in the lemon zest salt and pepper.

Dump in the green beans and mushrooms stirring to coat.

Remove from the heat and toss briefly with some of the Cheddar cheese and French fried onions saving some of each to sprinkle over the top. Spoon into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with the reserved onions and cheese.
