Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole

For Thanksgiving you will most likely need a few side dishes. The turkey is almost always gluten-free but the side dishes and desserts at most Thanksgivings are not. Green Bean Casserole is one that I used to not be a fan of but really grew to like over time! Obviously I'm still young but when I was younger I hated greens and vegetables. That was years ago but since going gluten-free I've loved all types of vegetables! Green beans, spinach, asparagus, etc. Anyways, enough about my picky vegetable preference as a child. This gluten-free green bean casserole is pretty simple to make and is dairy free as well. It isn't something that needs too much work and it should be a great addition to your gluten-free Thanksgiving if you try it out. Whether you're a fan of greens or not, I'm sure it's something your family would enjoy.

This is recipe #3 of the 14 Days of Gluten-Free Thanksgiving! 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter (Earths Balance is dairy free)
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1/4 cup onion, diced
• 1/2 cup mushrooms
• 1 cup sour cream (Tofutti is dairy free)
• 3 (14.5 ounce) cans French style green beans, drained
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (Daiya cheese is dairy free)
• 1/2 cup crumbled gluten free rice flakes (I use Natures Path...see link)
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted (Earths Balance is dairy free)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth, and cook for one minute. Stir in the salt, sugar, onion, and sour cream. Add green beans and mushrooms, stir to coat.
3. Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread shredded cheese over the top. In a small bowl, toss together rice flakes and remaining butter, and sprinkle over the cheese.
4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden and cheese is bubbly. Serve and enjoy!
