Vegan Broccoli Cheese Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a skillet melt the butter.
• Sauté onion and garlic, until onions are tender. Set aside to cool.
• Steam the frozen broccoli until thawed, then drain well. Let cool.
• Cook wild rice according to directions. (Use any type of rice desired; wild rice is exceptionally good in this recipe).
• It is important to allow the warm ingredients to cool before mixing everything together so the cheese doesn't melt too soon.
• When sufficiently cool, reserve 1/2 cup of the cheese and mix remaining ingredients together. Put in a oven-proof baking dish or casserole dish (or 2 if needed).
• Spread reserved 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Cover with foil.
• Bake for 20 minutes, remove foil; bake an additional 5 to 15 minutes, or until cheese on top is hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rice and simmer until the rice is mostly tender. 30-45 minutes. (Prep ingredients and start on #2 while rice is simmering). Drain and add back to the rinsed large pot.
• Place cauliflower, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms and carrots into a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and allow to cook at a low boil until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain into a colander.
• Transfer cauliflower medley to a food processor. Add 1 cup of plant milk, the nutritional yeast and miso and blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
• Add broccoli, onion and garlic to the pot with the rice. Add in the cauliflower sauce. Stir and bring to a low simmer. Cook just until broccoli is tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. If needed, thin with more milk. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
