Green Bean Casserole ~ Gluten & Dairy Free

With Easter just around the corner, I decided to create my version of Green Bean Casserole that was not only Gluten Free but Dairy Free. Is it wrong that I look forward to the holidays for the food? I doubt I am the only one… Easter is no exception! Ham, paleo mustard sauce, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, and so on. I am slowly taking all the recipes I love and giving them a healthier twist!

I am not a big mushroom fan, but portable mushrooms are growing on me. So I decided to give them a try for this recipe. Another time-consuming ingredient is the critical fried onion. I was in a hurry the first time I tried this recipe and just threw all the ingredients in the bowl and then fry it up. It was AMAZING. I feel this Green Bean Casserole will become a staple in my house!

How to make Green Bean Casserole: 

First, you start with the mushroom sauce by sautéing the mushrooms. Initially, I used sliced mushrooms to pick them out, but my husband made me take them out and chop them up. I HATE when he is right, which is, sadly, most of the time. I digress. Next, I added minced garlic and allowed it to sauté. Then the Nutpods, Chicken Stock, Chicken Stock slurry, and spices go in. Allow it to thicken.

While you are making the sauce, blanch your green beans. Don't worry about your ice water bath. Mix the green beans with the mushroom sauce and put in the oven for 30 minutes. At the same time the Casserole is cooking, slice up your shallots. Mix the Almond Flour and spices. Add an egg, shallots, and almond flour mixture together. Stir until the shallots are coated in the mix—heat coconut oil over medium heat. Once heated, add the onions. Spread them out to allow them to cook evenly. You should do two batches if you can fit them into the pan. If you do, add a little bit more coconut oil.

Once the Casserole is done cooking, top it with the crispy shallots and ENJOY your Green Bean Casserole! This dish is perfect for your holiday dinner or any dinner and is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
