Who doesn't love the all important, savory, American thanksgiving staple- Green Bean Casserole? We love this dish on thanksgiving in our house, but this year we are making this gluten free dairy free green bean casserole. Honestly after taste testing this one and scarfing down the entire finished product throughout one day while photographing it, I have to say this is better than the original. While I love some trash canned soup mixed in with my veggies and baked with fried things on top as much as the next American celebrating thanksgiving, this homemade, "real ingredients" recipe is just so much tastier.
Gluten Free Fried Onions
The best part of this entire dish is definitely not the green beans (although I love green beans), it's those fried french onions that layer the top of the dish. So good! Also not very healthy, and dipped in batter and fried so not gluten free.
In this recipe we bake them to get nice and crispy and make them gluten free. Use rice crumbs ( I found mine at trader joe's), and garlic, seasoned salt, everything but the bagel seasoning (also at trader joe's and amazing on scrambled eggs), and some sage as the coating on your onions. This coating with a little bit of olive oil gets the onions nice and crispy and so full of flavor. Bake them spread out on a baking sheet at 400 for about 15 minutes. While they bake you can make your dairy free cream of mushroom soup.
Dairy Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
Onto the sauce. A traditional green bean casserole needs some cream of mushroom soup which is usually made with cream and most people just get it from a can at the store and dump it in. Gross. This recipe has a homemade, much easier than you think, dairy free version of cream of mushroom soup. This makes the green bean casserole dairy free.
In a skillet or sauce pan, with a little bit of olive oil, saute your diced up mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook this up on medium heat for about 5 minutes or so until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms cooked through. Then add the coconut flour and toss to combine. This will help the cream of mushroom soup to thicken nicely. Heat this mixture up and add in your chicken broth. It will immediately start to thicken up slightly. Stir it to combine well. Finally, add in your can of creamy coconut milk. (We use Thai's Kitchen Coconut Milk.) Let this mixture cook on a low simmer for about 10 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste.
Gluten free Dairy free Green Bean Casserole
Finally it's time to put this all together! In a baking dish or a dutch oven, put your green beans in first then pour your homemade cream of mushroom soup over the top and toss together. Take those amazing crispy baked onions and layer them on the top. An optional, but recommended, topping is some crumbled bacon, because why not!?
Bake this in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes. It should be bubbling and crisp on the top. Let it cool and then dig in and enjoy!
