📖 Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 cups green beans, ends trimmed
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons butter, substitute plant-based butter
- 4 oz white mushrooms, sliced
- 14 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, adjust to taste
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, substitute other hard cheese of choice
- ½ cup breadcrumbs, for topping
Instructions
-
Combine green beans and water in a medium saucepan, ensuring the green beans are covered with just enough water. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer until the green beans are fork tender, for 1-2 minutes. Drain the liquid.
-
While the beans are cooking, prepare a bowl with ice-cold water. Once green beans are cooked, dip them into cold water for a few minutes until they reach room temperature. Drain and reserve.
-
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
-
Melt the butter in a medium skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown, stirring occasionally.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the cooked mushrooms, blanched green beans, condensed mushroom soup, cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, milk, salt and black pepper.
-
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle Parmesan and breadcrumbs on top.
-
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dish becomes bubbly and golden brown.
