Green Bean and Cauliflower Casserole image

I like to make a savory homemade cream sauce for the timeless green bean casserole. This time I added another vegetable for a delicious twist that sets my casserole apart from the rest! You can omit the vermouth if you'd like by substituting another half cup of chicken broth. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

I got this from Nava Atlas' Vegetarian Kitchen web site. I only changed from crumbling the feta onto the stew after serving to putting the crumbled feta directly into the stew after cooking.

  • Slice the vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
