Green Bean Casserole Clean Style & VEGAN

1 lb of fresh green beans, cleaned and snipped to desired size

• steam until just slightly fork tender--I personally like anything other than mushy! (it's personal)

Casserole flavors & mixins:

• 1/2 yellow onion thinly sliced - Caramelize in a non-stick pan until edges begin to brown
• deglaze the pan with 1 T of tamari or 2 1/2 tsp of liquid aminos

• Saute for 3 minutes
• Add:
• 2 T nutritional yeast

• In a small bowl whisk:
• 1/4 c chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour or gluten free "fave" flour
• 2 c creamy plant-based milk or coconut cream (8-9 g fat per 1 cup)

Bring the "soup in the makin" to a boil and add the flour alternative milk mixture, when it boils again, reduce to medium low and simmer for 4 minutes or until thickened.

• Add to green beans and pour into a casserole dish
