Vegan Green Bean Casserole

havolina's Note:

I found this recipe on VegWeb: So far I have found no complaints! "This is meant to be a vegan version of the traditional green bean casserole served at holidays, etc., for those of you who loved it and were sad to not have it at the holidays once you went vegan. Many of my non-veggie friends like this better than traditional green bean casserole because it has more veggies and more herbs and spices." - from the website (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6137.0)
