3-Bean Casserole

My 3-Bean Casserole is simple to make, you just put everything in a Slow Cooker or Crock Pot, and cook for 4-6 hours. So it’s ready when you come in after a hard day at work.

It’s packed with 3 beans (well, two beans and sweetcorn) and veg and a warming stock that means every mouthful is comforting and tender.

Ingredients

• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 2 sticks celery, chopped
• 1 courgette/zucchini, chopped
• 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
• 1 handful sugar snaps, halved
• 1 can sweetcorn, drained
• 1 can butter beans, washed and drained
• 1 can red kidney beans, washed and drained
• 1 cup mushroom stock
• 1 cup vegetable stock
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp beef powder, optional
• 1/4 tsp cyan pepper
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• cornflour slurry (1 tbsp cornflour + 2 tbsp water, mixed)

Directions

1. Throw everything (except the cornflour slurry) into a Slow Cooker set on HIGH for 4 hours (or SLOW for 6+ hours).
2. Add in the cornflour slurry and season to taste. Give it another 10 mins to make sure the casserole juices thicken slightly, then serve.

NB: You can add 1 tbsp of mushroom soy sauce before serving, if you want it meatier. I serve it with some cubes of vegan cheese and wholemeal bread for a hearty meal.
