- 3 cups baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups vegan chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 3 cans of French-style green beans (14.5 oz cans)
- 3 cups crispy French-fried onions (storebought or homemade)
Instructions
- Add 1 cup of cashews to a medium bowl and cover it in boiling water to soak for 10 minutes or longer.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Then set a large pan to medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegan butter (or olive oil). Add the diced onion and saute until fragrant. Then add 3 cups of sliced mushrooms and minced garlic cloves. Saute the mushrooms for a few minutes, then turn off the heat.
- Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender. Then pour in 2 cups of broth, 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, 3 tbsps of nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp of onion powder, 1 tbsp of garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt.
- Blend until creamy, then add most of the sauteed onions and mushrooms from the pan to the blender (leave a little in the pan). Pulse the blender a few times until the mushrooms are combined. Then pour it into the pan and set it to medium heat. Cook until it’s warm and starting to bubble.
- To an 8×11 baking dish, add 3 cans of french style green beans and evenly spread them out. Then pour the mushroom soup over the green beans. Mix until they’re combined and evenly spread it out in the pan. Completely cover the top of the casserole with crispy fried onions. Pour the entire 6oz can on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Happy holidays!
