Cheezy-Green Beans

Ever since I made Emily’s Nutritional Yeast Cheese sauce, I have been wanting to try nutritional yeast in a variety of dishes. I have used it over pasta so far, but this time, I thought I would use it to make a Green Bean Casserole. I really like the result.

The Players

2 pounds fresh green beans

1 small onion, diced

2-3 cloves garlic

1 “batch” of Emily’s Nutritional Yeast “Cheese” Sauce

1/4 cup bread crumbs (optional)

The Fun

1. Trim the ends of the beans and cut in to bite sized pieces while heating oven to 350 degrees.

2. Steam beans but don’t cook all the way through. They should still be fairly crisp. While beans are steaming, saute the onion and garlic.

3. Remove beans and place in an oven safe dish. Add in the onions and garlic and top with Nutritional Yeast “Cheese” sauce.  Stir together.

4. Top with bread crumbs. Place in oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
