My dairy-free gluten-free classic green bean casserole recipe substitutes these two with one: Imagine brand Creamy Portobello Mushroom Soup. The main dairy-filled ingredients that need replaced in the classic green bean casserole are the can of soup and the milk. Extra points for her that she found Earth Balance, which is healthier than a traditional margarine … but I would have eaten any dairy-free substitute she would have found me that day!! Making the Green Bean Casserole Dairy-Free Not only was that sweet and thoughtful, but it made a huge difference for me! I can pull out potatoes, corn and/or sweet potatoes in the kitchen, before any milk or real butter gets added to them, and “doctor them up” with a dairy-free butter substitute. I was so touched after I arrived to realize that she had gone in search of a dairy-free “butter” for me earlier in the week, reading all kinds of labels. Luckily, my ex (then boyfriend) had mentioned my dairy allergy to her. The very first time I met my former mother-in-law was at Thanksgiving … across the country … at her house. That’s sometimes easier said that done for some of us. If you’re the guest with a food allergy, speak up. I either have to speak up and be a pain (in my mind), bring a side dish and/or dessert (if I live close enough) or make something while I’m there (if I can pack the ingredients or have the time/means to go find them at a local store). Almost been there, almost did that.Įven having ONE side dish or dessert is appreciated! It’s so much easier for me to host Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner than to go to someone’s house. The worst option is silence and being in a position where the host had no idea and feels bad … and the guest can’t eat anything except the turkey. Whether you’re the host facing others’ food allergies you don’t normally have to navigate around, the one with the allergy, the parent of a child with a food allergy or the significant other bringing someone home for dinner, speak up. What to do? My suggestion is to openly communicate. I developed my dairy allergy as an adult, so even my own mom still forgets sometimes. Parents and grandparents who have hosted holiday dinners for years and are unfamiliar with food allergies may suddenly have to contend with new family members (in-laws or grandchildren, for example) who have a dairy allergy, lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, egg allergy, etc. Always investigate - I have a friend who, like me, will get miserable but won’t need hospitalized if she ingests a little of the food she’s allergic to, yet I know others who have life-threatening food allergies. Whether you’re hosting or bringing a dish, you can make somebody’s holiday extra special by making this casserole! It’s also egg-free and possibly soy-free (one ingredient’s packaging doesn’t list soy as an ingredient, but it says it “may contain soy”). Make the Holiday Special with This Green Bean Casserole I got tired of passing up this favorite side dish (and I know many others with food allergies are in the same boat), so I created a remake with this Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Classic Green Bean Casserole (it’s also vegan). But when you have a dairy issue or gluten intolerance, eating this holiday classic will make you sick. It’s a classic dish, and it’s clearly as popular as ever, evidenced by grocery store displays October through December featuring the food products used to make this dish. You know the one - it uses a can of cream of mushroom soup and a container of french fried onions. Like many families in America, the traditional green bean casserole was a staple at my family’s holiday dinner table as I grew up.
