First, a little recipe. I made this a while ago....and then I made it again recently, replacing some items. Did not come out quite as good the second time, so I'm going to stick with my original! The second time around, I didn't have enough queso, and so I used 1 cup of almond milk and some nutritional yeast. NOPE. The casserole didn't hold together. So make sure you use ALL queso and make sure it's thick enough, otherwise it won't hold together very well :)
Cheeezy Broccoli Rice Casserole:
3 stalks celery, chopped or sliced
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
3-4 cups chopped broccoli (small florets plus chopped stems)
1 green pepper, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
5 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups of my vegan queso (or any thick queso)
salt to taste
water for saute pan
In large saute pan (make sure it's deep enough...all of the ingredients are going in there), add 1/4 cup water, celery, and onion. Cook until soft. Add the broccoli, pepper and tomatoes. Cook an additional 5 minutes. (If you're going to bake this, there's no need to cook until soft. If you're not baking this, but eating right out of the pan, cook them until desired softness) Add more water as needed, so it doesn't stick to the pan. Add the brown rice and mix it up. Add in the queso and mix until well-combined. Add salt as desired. Spread in a greased/oiled 9x11 baking pan and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, until the top is browned and a bit crisp. OR eat once combined, without baking!
Remember that awesome
soup I made the other day?? Here's a picture. It doesn't do it justice, but I made it twice and it's sooooo good :)
I guess that's it........HAHAHAHA just kidding!
