Now everyone can enjoy classic Thanksgiving favorites, like this dairy-free green bean casserole. We make a homemade vegan cream of mushroom soup using almond milk for the creamy base that's combined with fresh green beans. Top it off with classic french-fried onions (we have a vegan recipe for that, too!) for a side dish everyone will devour.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (2 1/2 cups)
½ cup sliced shallots
4 cups frozen cut green beans
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or "no-chicken" broth
3/4-1 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup Vegan French-Fried Onions (see associated recipe)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released their liquid, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add green beans and broth and bring to a boil. Whisk 3/4 cup almond milk and flour together in a medium bowl. Add to the green bean mixture and cook, stirring, until bubbling and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. If the sauce seems too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup almond milk. Stir in soy sauce, pepper and salt. Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle french-fried onions over the top of the casserole. Bake until bubbling and the onions are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
