📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the cashew cream, in a medium bowl, add cashews and cover with boiling water. Let soak for ⏱️ 30 minutes. Drain well.
boiling water3 cups
2
In a high-speed blender, add drained cashews and ½ cup water. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to get a creamy consistency (I added an additional ½ cup water). Season to taste with salt (I like ¼ teaspoon).
3
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat until foaming subsides. Add mushrooms, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the mushrooms have released most of their liquid, about 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes.
4
Stir in flour and cook for one minute. Whisk in broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly.
5
Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in cashew cream and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
Meanwhile, cook the beans in the microwave according to the package instructions (or microwave on HIGH power for 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes; let stand ⏱️ 1 minute before removing from the microwave). Drain well (I like to use a salad spinner to spin them dry).
7
Add the green beans to the pot with the mushroom sauce and toss until evenly coated. Transfer the beans and sauce to a crock pot.
8
Cook on HIGH for ⏱️ 2 hours or LOW for ⏱️ 4 hours or until a thermometer inserted in to the middle of the casserole reaches 165 degrees. Top with canned fried onions immediately before serving.
