"As a Vegetarian, I'm always trying new things to get all the nutients my body requires. I found this recipe in a magazine a few years ago, it's become a family favorite. The nutritional yeast gives this a bit of a cheesy flavour. Great for veggie potlucks too."

  1. Mmmmm....this hit the spot. I loved how quick it all came together. I used half the amount of earth balance (margarine) called for and didn't precook the broccoli. I chopped it pretty fine but wanted it to have a little crunch to it when served. This is such a flexible recipe. I'm looking forward to adding some mushrooms, a little red bell pepper, zucchini, maybe some chopped spinach and sliced almonds or sunflower seeds just to up nutrition. But it was yummy as written. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  4. Well, I'm not sure I can give it five stars yet since I haven't even assembled the casserole. But I had to sit down, while waiting for my rice to finish cooking, and comment on this cheese sauce. This sauce ALONE is ... holy cow wow!! I've tried so many different "cheese" sauces since I have a dairy allergy child. None of them come close to this sauce! This is going to be my go-to recipe from now on!!! <Shaking my head trying to find the words to sum up my amazement at how delicious this sauce is.> Thank you!!!

  5. I am pretty impressed! I didn't know what to expect. This was my first fake "cheesy" type dish (I'd been scared) But honestly there's barely any difference! This tastes so much like the real cheesy rice and broccoli casseroles I had growing up! Only I might cut back on the garlic powder a smidge next time. Other then that I thought the spices were perfect! That pinch of smoked paprika on top is genius. I used half rice and half tvp (mainly because I ran out of rice! But the idea worked great!) I also roasted my broccoli (and didn't really measure). Really great recipe!

Tweaks

  1. I added mushrooms, subbed veggie broth for the water, subbed chickpea flour for the all purpose, and cut the margarine quantity in half and added an extra 1/4 c coconut milk. It was delish and reminded me so much of my mom's (non vegan) recipe that she used to make when I was a kid.
