Protein-Packed Green Bean Casserole Recipe

Green Bean Casserole with Protein

Our casserole is based on the classic French’s Green Bean Casserole recipe found on the back of your pack of French’s Crispy Fried Onions. 

The specific type and style of green beans you use in your casserole is entirely up to personal preference. You can use fresh green beans, canned, or frozen green beans, though you will want to cook the frozen ones before you add them to the casserole. 

While you can easily swap out the milk for a plant-based version, the whey-based protein for a pea-based option, and the cream of mushroom soup for a vegan substitute, the French’s Crispy Fried Onions are not themselves vegan. They are fully vegetarian-friendly, but they contain dextrose, a type of sugar that is not considered to be vegan. However, you can make your own French fried onions if you are intent on having your dish be fully vegan or just to add that extra handmade touch.

Ingredients: 

• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 2 scoops Allo Natural
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups of green beans, 
• 1 container of French's Original Crispy Fried Onions

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F while you prep your casserole.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and cream of mushroom soup then add your Allo Natural protein powder and pepper then stir until well mixed.
3. Slowly stir in your green beans and 2/3 of the French fried onions, making sure everything is well coated. 
4. Transfer the green bean mixture into a shallow baking dish and press into the corners to make an even surface.
5. Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
6. Remove the casserole and stir.
7. Sprinkle the remaining French fried onions on the top of the casserole and place back into the oven for another 5 minutes of baking time until the onions are golden brown.
8. Remove the casserole dish from the oven, carefully serve hot, and enjoy!
