Hi Laura,
Here is the casserole, and I sent you some other ideas!
----
Green Bean Casserole
2 lbs green beans, steamed until tender, drained
Creamy Mushroom Gravy (recipe follows)
1 can French Fried Onions
Mix green beans with gravy.
Put in greased casserole.
Top with onions.
Bake at 350 F until hot throughout.
----
Creamy Mushroom Gravy
1 13-oz (approx) can mushrooms, with liquid
2 tsps cornstarch
Soymilk
Drain liquid from mushrooms, and measure.
Add soymilk to liquid to make 2 cups.
Mix cornstarch into liquid.
Put cornstarch + liquid into saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Stir in mushrooms.
Use in casserole (above), or as gravy, or thin with more soymilk to make
soup.
