INGREDIENTS
6 cups cooked rice (800 g)
1 recipe Vegan Cheese Sauce
5 cups broccoli, steamed and chopped (500 g)
½ cup gluten free bread crumbs or normal bread crumbs
⅛ tsp garlic powder, optional
Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
1). Preheat the oven to 425.
2). In a large bowl add the cooked rice, steamed and chopped broccoli, and the Vegan Cheese Sauce. Stir to mix well then transfer to an 8×11 casserole dish.
3). Top with the ½ cup of breadcrumbs then season the bread crumbs with garlic powder and salt and pepper. (you may lightly spray the bread crumbs with avocado oil to help it brown or if you are transitioning yourself or your family from cooking with oil.)
4). Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the crumbs are golden brown. If you are using hot rice, broccoli, and cheese sauce then just broil the casserole for a few minutes, watching it closely so the bread crumbs don’t burn, to brown the top quickly.

I love this recipe. So easy and no thought in what to pare it with. It would be a great video idea for you to make all 50/50 casseroles. Thank you for all you do.
I made this today to finish the cheese sauce from the fridge. I added some beans and mushrooms that needed to go. I paired it with roasted pumpkin and brussel sprouts. It was delicious! My mom is not vegan but ate a full bowl ?.
This recipe is the best! Never would I have imagined it would be flavorful and satisfying. It’s also fulfills the 50/50 plate which is great. We added some field roast sausage to ours last time and it was fabulous! Soooo good! Thank you!
This casserole was so easy to make, very tasty, and the bread crumbs on top added a nice crunch. My family loved it and went back for seconds. This will be a regular in our house and an excellent casserole for a potluck, vegans or non vegans. Thank you Kiki for sharing another amazing recipe!
This recipe was super good and so easy to make! I love that you make recipes simple. I have been struggling to stay plant based for years. I love to cook but when I’m working I do not.
I just bought your download cookbook and I can’t wait to try them all!
I have made this twice now. It provides all the comfort of the traditional casserole without all the crap. I LOVE it.
Kiki you nailed this! Kind of tastes like risotto. My uber picky granddaughter who doesn’t like anything likes this too. I love this it is a regular now
