| Ingredients | ||
| 2 10-ounce bags | 280 grams | Frozen cut green beans, thawed |
| Salt and pepper to taste | ||
| 2 tablespoons | 30 ml | Tamari or soy sauce |
| 3 cups | 750 ml | Silk Unsweetened or Silk Originale |
| 4 tablespoons | 60 ml | Flour |
| 3 tablespoons | 45 ml | Dry sherry |
| 1 lb | 455 grams | Fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced |
| 2 | Medium onions, thinly sliced | |
| 1 1/2 teaspoon | 7 ml | Salt, divided |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | 25 ml | Olive oil or unsalted butter divided |
| 1 1/2 lbs | 680 grams | Or Fresh green beans, cooked until tender |
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F (180 °C). Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon (7 mL) of the olive oil or butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) salt and cook until slightly browned and soft, 10-12 minutes. Remove the onions and set aside.
Heat the remaining tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil in the same saucepan and add the mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms begin to brown and most of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the dry sherry and cook for about 1 minute more. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook while stirring over medium heat until the flour browns slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool briefly.
Warm the Silk in a saucepan or microwave. Slowly whisk the warm Silk into the mushrooms, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Return the saucepan to the heat and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes until the sauce reaches the consistency of a thick cream soup. Stir in the tamari, the remaining salt and black pepper to taste.
Mix in the green beans and 1/2 cup (175 mL) of the onions. Place in the prepared casserole dish, top with remaining onions and bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes.

I'd reduce the salt, though.
