Ingredients: 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and halved. 2 cups sliced mushrooms. 1 onion, finely chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth. 1 cup unsweetened almond milk. 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. 1 teaspoon soy sauce. 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 cup crispy fried onions optional, for topping.

Instructions: Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C. Warm up a big pot of water. After you add the green beans, cook for 5 minutes. To stop cooking, drain and rinse with cold water. Warm up the olive oil in a big pan over medium-low heat. Put in garlic, onions, and mushrooms. For about 5 to 7 minutes, or until soft, cook. Put some flour on top of the mushrooms and stir it all together. Go on and cook for two more minutes. Add the vegetable broth and almond milk slowly while whisking the mixture.
