Green Bean Casserole

Thank you to Sprouts (the best grocery store) for sponsoring this recipe! For the past 13 years, I’ve been hosting an annual vegan Friendsgiving potluck the weekend after Thanksgiving. It’s a way for my friends to try new recipes, gather, and share a plant-based nourishing-to-the-body-and-soul meal together. This year, the recipe that I’ve been trying to perfect for our potluck is the Green Bean Casserole. I wanted it to be a combination of down-right-tasty, but also a recipe that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen. This is what I came up with! I did all my shopping at Sprouts, they had everything I needed, including the fried onions– which I thought I was going to have to make from scratch. I used the Sprouts organic frozen green beans as the center of this dish so that I could remove a step of having to cook them myself. Ingredients 2 cups of water 2 vegetable bouillon cubes 3 ½ tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil ½ cup of yellow onion, diced 1 ½ cups of cremini mushrooms, diced 3 cloves of garlic, minced 3 ½ tablespoons of all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon of dried oregano 1 bag of frozen green beans 1 (6-ounce) package of fried onions Method Step 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Step 2 In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the water and bouillon cubes until cubes are completely dissolved. Stir and set aside. Step 3 Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Saute until onions for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they are translucent and tender. Step 4 Add the flour and mix to form a thick paste. Allow to cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes until golden. Step 5 Add the bouillon broth, stir, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season with dried oregano and ground pepper. Step 6 Use a whisk to gently mix the gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency (about 15 minutes). Step 7 Stir in 1 bag of frozen green beans. Step 8 Transfer to a large cast-iron skillet and top with fried onions. Step 9 Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and serve warm.
