Comfort Casserole
1 carrot, sliced
4 mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup greens beans, chopped
1 cup cooked white beans
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 cup nondairy milk (oat is good)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
few dashes sage
few dashes rosemary
few dashes thyme
few dashes paprika
dash cayenne pepper
salt, to taste
soy sauce, to taste
1/4 cup whole-grain bread crumbs
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a baking dish. Saute the carrots, mushrooms, and green beans in a small amount of oil, water, or veggie broth until they just start to get tender. Add white beans and parsley, remove from heat, and set aside.
2. Whisk the remaining ingredients (milk through soy sauce) together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir constantly until thickened.
3. Combine the sauce with the veggie/bean mixture and pour into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake about 20 minutes or until top is browned and the casserole is bubbling. Enjoy!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
With a name like Comfort Casserole, how could you possibly go wrong? Double the sauce, double your pleasure! I added some ground soy and it was even more comforting.
