Here's an animal-friendly spin on a classic American side dish. This casserole is made with soymilk, rather than heavy cream, which allows for the same rich taste minus the cholesterol. It's really simple and really delicious. Keep this recipe in mind when planning your Thanksgiving menu!
Ingredients:
1 can French cut green beans, drained
1½ canisters vegan French fried onions
1½ cups plain unsweetened soymilk
1 cube vegetable bouillon
2-3 Tbs. cornstarch mixed with 2-3 Tbs. cold water
½ medium onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
¾ cup chopped mushrooms (button, crimini, or portabella)
½ Tbs. vegetable oil
½ tsp. each of garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, sage, marjoram, thyme (to taste)
