Equipment

measuring spoons
measuring cups
knife set
small whisk
cast iron skillet

Ingredients

3 ½ tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil
½ cup of yellow onion diced
1 ½ cups of cremini mushrooms diced
3 cloves of garlic minced
3 ½ tablespoons of all-purpose flour
2 cups of vegetable broth
½ teaspoon of dried oregano
1 bag of frozen green beans
1 (6-ounce) package of fried onions

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Saute until onions for about 3 to 4 minutes or until are translucent and tender.
Add the flour and mix to form a thick paste. Allow to cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes until golden.
Add the broth, stir, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season with dried oregano and ground pepper.
Use a whisk to gently mix the gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency (about 15 minutes).
Stir in 1 bag of frozen green beans.
Transfer to a large cast iron skillet and top with fried onions.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

Adjust the green bean texture: You can adjust the cooking time of the beans based on whether you’d like very tender results or tender-crisp green beans. This will also change based on whether you use frozen or fresh green beans.
For a healthier topping: Gently sauté some onions until slightly crisp (or cook them over low heat to caramelize them—though this can take 50-60 minutes). Optionally combine them with breadcrumbs and/or crushed nuts for extra crunch.
Avoid white mushrooms: They’re not overly flavorful, so this dairy-free green bean casserole is far better off with options that add more body to the dish (like Baby Bella mushrooms).
