Great Green Bean Casserole

This recipe also came from Meatout Mondays. Original recipe is here. I made 1/4 of the recipe so I made it in little ramekins.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 lbs green beans
10 oz mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
cayenne pepper, generous pinch
2 T flour
3/4 c vegetable broth
3/4 c unsweetened soymilk
1-1/2 slices whole grain bread (Koepplinger's Whole Grain White Bread)
1 T margarine (Bestlife Buttery Spread)
salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions:
Boil green beans and drain.
Chop mushrooms into pieces.
Spray non-stick pan with non-stick spray; add the mushrooms, garlic, cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste; cook until mushrooms are very soft and exude their juices.
Whisk the flour into the vegetable broth and add to mushrooms.
Simmer, stirring, until mixture thickens; add soymilk and simmer until thick, about 5 to 10 minutes; adjust the seasonings and stir in the beans.
For the topping, put bread, margarine, salt, and pepper into a food processor and pulse until crumbly.
Put green beans into an oiled casserole dish and top with bread crumbs.
Bake at 425F for about 15 minutes.
Makes 8 servings.
