Vegan Green Bean Casserole

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

Now everyone can enjoy classic Thanksgiving favorites, like this dairy-free green bean casserole. We make a homemade vegan cream of mushroom soup using almond milk for the creamy base that's combined with fresh green beans. Top it off with classic french-fried onions (we have a vegan recipe for that, too!) for a side dish everyone will devour.

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (2 1/2 cups)
  • ½ cup sliced shallots
  • 4 cups frozen cut green beans
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or "no-chicken" broth
  • 3/4-1 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegan french-fried onions
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released their liquid, 4 to 6 minutes.
  2. Add green beans and broth and bring to a boil. Whisk 3/4 cup almond milk and flour together in a medium bowl. Add to the green bean mixture and cook, stirring, until bubbling and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. If the sauce seems too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup almond milk. Stir in soy sauce, pepper and salt. Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle french-fried onions over the top of the casserole. Bake until bubbling and the onions are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
