Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb green beans trimmed and sassy
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced for drama
  • 1 ½ cups vegan ground beef substitute crumbled like your patience
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder no clumps, please
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp tamari or soy sauce low sodium if you’re feeling saintly
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup vegan shredded cheese optional, but why not?
  • ½ cup crispy fried onions yes, vegan and glorious

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and try not to burn yourself—again.
  • Blanch green beans in boiling water for 4 minutes, then toss them into an ice bath like a spa diva.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion and garlic until the house smells like you're winning at life.
  • Add vegan beef. Cook 5–6 minutes until browned and delicious. Toss in soy sauce and paprika for bonus sass.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk almond milk, arrowroot, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly suspicious-looking.
  • Pour the mixture into the skillet. Stir until thick and glossy like vegan dreams.
  • Fold in green beans and mix gently—treat them like they’re emotionally delicate.
  • Transfer to a baking dish. Sprinkle with vegan cheese if desired.
  • Top with crispy onions like you’re decorating a casserole runway.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes until bubbly, golden, and ready to make you feel smug.
