Hey friends! How is this gorgeous fall weather treating you? For me, this season is all about my favorite Casserole recipes for dinner. It's such an easy and cozy recipe for dinner.
With the Holidays rolling around the corner, it's such a perfect time to make this Casserole. Holidays are all about loads of candies and desserts. So, to take a break from all of the desserts and baking, I tried this vegetarian casserole. Not that I hate baking desserts. I seriously love it, but, it's always great to sneak in some veggies in your diet!
I know, with the Holiday season around the corner, people won't even consider a vegetable which is as boring as green beans. Well, guys! give this Casserole a try. Trust me, you'll love it.
This Holiday season is the perfect time to bake casseroles for dinner. It's practically a dump and forget dinner, which is perfect for the family. I cook so many casserole dishes especially around this time of the year. This is my definition of cozy dinner, just like a bowl of fried rice for Sunday dinner or a cozy cheeseburger casserole.

For all my Vegetarian friends, this Thanksgiving is going to be so special. They keep telling me to make something perfect for Vegetarians. This recipe will be perfect for vegetarian people. Loaded with Green Beans, this is so delicious and cheesy.
This Green Bean Cheddar Casserole is just like the classic Green Bean Thanksgiving Casserole, just without the Mushrooms. And loaded with more cheese. My idea to make this casserole of course came from the classic version, but then I thought, how about just some cheesy green beans, and then I stumbled upon this great recipe from Good Housekeeping and I was certain that I had to make it!
How to make this Green Bean Cheddar Casserole?
So, to make this casserole:
First - Boil some water and add the green beans to the boiling water. Cook for 1-2 minutes and then take them off. Drain the rest of the water.
Second - Toss the Panko with Olive Oil and chopped Onions and keep aside.
Third - To make the sauce, simmer a skillet and as it gets nice and hot, add the Milk and Corn Starch. Stir until combined. Add the milk in batches and keep whisking until it's smooth and lump-free. Add the spices and whisk well.

The great news is that this dish is naturally Low Carb. You know how perfect Cheddar cheese is on a Keto diet. It's so low in carbs and filled with proteins. And, there is nothing filled with carbs in this dish.
Also, to make a Vegan Green Bean Cheddar Casserole, replace the Whole Milk with Soy Milk and some Olive Oil, combine that with the Corn starch until you have a smooth sauce ready.
