Scraps and Snippets ~ Vegan Green Bean Casserole


Goodness. Let me give you one large chunk of advice…if you want to use fresh or frozen fresh green beans in a green bean casserole…steam them first. 

I did not. And they were a bit….crunchy, even after baking for 45 minutes. 
Green Bean Casserole

Approximately 3-4 Cups of fresh or frozen green beans (2-3 cans)
1 Cup of cashews soaked in 2 cups of non-dairy, unflavored, unsweetened milk
2 Large or 4 Medium mushrooms
1/4 of a medium onion
1 Clove of garlic
1/2 tsp salt
Vegan french fried onions. 

Steam the green beans if needed. See above note.

Lightly spray a 9 x 13 pan.

Dump beans in the pan. 

In a food processor add everything (including the milk the cashews soaked in) but the mushrooms and french fried onions. Whir everything until all is smooth. Toss in mushrooms and give it another whir until they are bits.

Pour this mixture over the green beans. Top with the french fried onions. 

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
