Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add whole or cut in half green beans and let cook for 5 minutes. Place in an ice bath to stop cooking, drain, and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook mushrooms in melted butter. Season with salt and pepper and let cook for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and let cook until fragrant, about a minute or so.

To make the creamy sauce, stir in the flour and fully coat the mushrooms. Stream in the broth and bring to a simmer, stirring, until the mixture thickens.

Reduce heat to low, stir in dairy-free milk, and cook for about 5 minutes, until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper, if needed. Add cooked, tender green beans to the mushroom sauce and stir to combine.

To assemble green bean casserole, transfer mixture to a greased 9x13 baking dish (or similar size) and top with desired amount of crispy onions. Bake for 15 minutes, until top is golden, serve warm.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Mushrooms First 🍄
Sauté mushrooms in vegan butter over medium-high heat until golden brown and their moisture evaporates, concentrating their umami flavor for a richer cream sauce.
Make a Proper Roux Base 🥄
Whisk all-purpose flour into melted vegan butter for 1-2 minutes before adding dairy-free milk to eliminate lumps and create a silky, luxurious sauce.
Reserve Onion Topping Strategically 🧅
Save half your crispy fried onions to sprinkle on top after baking so they stay crunchy rather than softening completely into the casserole.
Blanch Green Beans for Texture Control 🫘
Briefly blanch fresh green beans in salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes before adding to the casserole to ensure they stay crisp-tender rather than mushy after baking.
Build Flavor with Garlic Infusion 🧄
Mince garlic finely and bloom it in the vegan butter for 30 seconds before adding flour to unlock its aromatic compounds and prevent a raw garlic bite.
