The dish is delicious, sure, though the USDA notes that a 1-cup serving contains 360 calories and 26 grams (g) of fat. But just because the standard green bean casserole dish isn’t exactly a healthy side dish doesn’t mean you need to avoid it. Part of what adds to the unhealthy saturated fat content of the traditional recipe is the addition of heavy cream, cream of mushroom soup, cheese, and fried onions.

If you know someone managing celiac disease or a gluten intolerance (which can lead to symptoms similar to that of celiac, but does not damage the small intestine), understand that eating away from home during the holidays can be stressful for them. After all, with dinner rolls, pies, and casseroles galore, gluten-free fare isn’t always on the menu when there’s a crowd to feed. That’s where this creamy gluten-free (and vegan!) casserole dish from Rhian Williams, of Rhian's Recipes, comes in.
