Green Bean Casserole
Carbs: 17g




Green Bean


Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 cup chopped mushrooms
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 ounces fat-free plain cream cheese
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup (8-fl-oz) Glucerna® Homemade Vanilla Shake
1 (16-ounce) package frozen French-style green beans, thawed and drained
3/4 cup seasoned stuffing mix, divided
Nonstick vegetable oil spray


Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly mist a shallow 8-inch baking dish with nonstick vegetable oil spray.
     
  2. Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat until hot; add the shallots and mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until both vegetables are tender.
     
  3. Add the flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring the entire time. Add the salt, pepper, cream cheese, and vinegar and stir to combine.
     
  4. Whisk in the Glucerna Shake and continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. (Do not allow the sauce to come to a boil.)
     
  5. Add the green beans and 1/3 cup stuffing mix and mix to combine. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.
     
  6. Sprinkle the top with the remaining stuffing mix and spray the top of the casserole with nonstick vegetable oil spray.
     
  7. Bake for 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve warm.
