Reduce the calories in your Green Bean Casserole by using Soymilk instead of cream of mushroom soup. Ingredients: 1 ½ tbsp. Meijer Extra Virgin Olive oil, divided 2 medium onions, thinly sliced 1 ½ tsp. salt, divided 1 lb. fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced 3 tbsp. dry sherry 4 tbsp. flour 3 cups Meijer Organics Original Soy Milk 2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce or Bragg’s Amino Acids Salt and pepper to taste 2 (10 oz.) bags frozen cut green beans, thawed or 1 ½ lbs. fresh green beans, cooked until tender Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray. Heat ½ tbsp. of the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, season with ½ tsp. salt and cook until slightly browned and soft, 10-12 minutes. Remove the onions and set aside. Heat the remaining tbsp. of olive oil in the same saucepan and add the mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms begin to brown and most of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the dry sherry and cook for about 1 minute more. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook while stirring over medium heat until the flour browns slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool briefly. Warm the soymilk in a saucepan or microwave. Slowly whisk the warm soymilk into the mushrooms, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Return the saucepan to the heat and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes until the sauce reaches the consistency of a thick cream soup. Stir in the soy sauce and salt and black pepper to taste.Mix in the green beans and ½ cup of the onions. Place in the prepared casserole dish, top with the remaining onions and bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes. Recipe adapted from www.silksoymilk.com.
