This one pan creamy garlic soy green bean and mushroom casserole turns traditional green bean casserole on its head. For this recipe, I put a Healthyish twist on a classic.
To start, I skipped the canned cream of mushroom and made my own homemade garlic soy cream that is absolutely delicious. It’s silky, smooth, savory and tastes amazing! This casserole will be the perfect addition to any holiday meal. As an added bonus, you only need one pan too!
The garlic soy cream is lighter than the traditional cream of mushroom sauce. It also carries a lot more flavor. The soy sauce adds a wonderful umami flavor that is hard to resist when combined with the meaty mushrooms. While the garlic cream adds the smooth, creamy texture we all crave from a casserole. Mix everything together, and you’re in for one irresistible holiday side dish.
I can almost guarantee that this one-pan creamy garlic soy green bean and mushroom casserole will be the only way you make green bean casserole in the future. This is one Healthyish remake that you will not want to miss.
