Vegan Green Bean Casserole

This is my very favorite thing in the universe!!! I make it all year long! Although I regret saying this, I do not recommended using fresh or frozen green beans... the canned ones are softer and the fresh ones just aren't as good in this. I know sad right?

Vegan Green Bean Casserole

1/4 cup margarine
1/4 unbleached all purpose flour
2 c vegetable stock (canned or homemade)
2 cans green beans
1 cup of mushrooms,chopped(any kind is great)
1 1/2 c french fried onions
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 sprigs of rosemary

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Make a blond roux with the flour and margarine (click on the word roux if you don't know what this is)
add the vegetable stock slowly about a 1/4 cup at a time bring to a boil for 1 minute until thickened add salt, pepper and rosemary. Remove from heat and set aside. Add Mushrooms, green beans and 1/2 can of French fried onions to a 2 qt casserole pan. Pour the roux sauce over the top and cook for 20 minutes. Add the remaining French fried onions to the top and cook an additional 10 minutes until top is browned.
