Vegan Green Bean Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in oil over medium heat until tender. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in the sour cream, browning sauce (if desired), salt and pepper until blended. Add green beans and cheese; stir to coat. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. , In a small bowl, melt buttery spread. Stir in crushed crackers and fried onions; sprinkle over casserole. Bake until casserole is bubbly and top is golden brown, 25-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and oil a 3-quart baking dish.
• Fill a large pot with water. Add 1 tablespoon salt to the water and bring to a boil. Add the green beans and boil for 4 minutes (or 3 minutes if you are using French beans). Drain the green beans and rinse them under cold running water. Give them a shake to remove excess water, then cut them into 2-inch pieces. Transfer the cut green beans to the baking dish.
• Heat the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their juices and are reduced in size. Stir frequently to prevent the shallots from burning. Add the garlic and cook the mushrooms for another 3 minutes, stirring as you go.
• Place the flour in a small bowl and add 1/4 cup of the non-dairy milk. Whisk together to create a slurry.
• Pour the remaining 1 3/4 cups non-dairy milk into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir in the slurry, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and the black pepper. Bring the liquid to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Pour the mushroom sauce over the green beans and give it a gentle stir to coat. Top with the fried onions. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the onions turn a deep golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. Allow the casserole to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender and bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well and transfer to the ice water to cool completely. Drain again and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet; pat dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost all the excess moisture has cooked off and the mushrooms start to turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and thyme, then continue to cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes.
• Pour 1/4 cup of the vegetable broth into the skillet. Cook, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until broth is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until completely absorbed, then add the remaining 1/2 cup vegetable broth, almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until thickened and saucy, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the vegan sour cream and soy sauce until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Stir the blanched green beans into the sauce, tossing until evenly coated, then spread into an even layer. Top evenly with the fried onions.
• Bake until golden brown and bubbling at the edges, about 15 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
