eAZy GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Ingredients:

10 oz of sliced crimini mushrooms
3 cups greens beans, trimmed
1 package gluten-free crispy onions by 365
2/3 cup Daiya cheddar cheese
2/3 cup raw cashews
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon butter-flavored coconut oil by Nutiva
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt (or more, to taste)
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Soak cashews overnight. 

When ready to cook, preheat oven at 400 degrees.

Saute onions, garlic and mushrooms in melted coconut oil. Add seasoning.
Rinse soaked cashews and blend in a blender with water and 1/2 of the sautéed mushrooms and onions to make condensed mushroom soup. IMPORTANT: Reserve one half of the mushroom mixture for the casserole. 

Steam green beans for 5 minutes and place in a oven-safe dish. Pour the mushroom soup over the beans, then add the rest of sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the crispy onions, then top with Daiya cheese.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Enjoy!
