Warming Casseroles

Casseroles are the perfect comfort food for me. I make them a few times a month when the weather is cooler to warm me up. Actually, I only stop making them once it’s too hot to turn on the oven which isn’t usually until May in my area. When going through my recipes the other day, I realized I have never shared a casserole before. I have some one pot dishes like my Easy Mushroom Risotto and Southwest Quinoa but not an actual casserole.

To remedy that, today I’m sharing my Vegetable Bean Casserole.

Okay so maybe my Vegetable Bean Casserole doesn’t have the most exciting name. And maybe it doesn’t look as fancy as some of my other recipes but it tastes really good. Creamy and delicious and you’ll get a good serving of vegetables as well as whole grains from the brown rice and protein from the beans.

The topping is optional but I love a little crunch on my casseroles so I added some gluten-free breadcrumbs to top it off.  I mean, who doesn’t want bread crumbs on their casserole?

  3. ive been eating mostly stew type dishes recently as its still very very cold in the UK. I love the breadcrumb topping on your veggie bean casserole too.

    • Thank you so much Shaheen! I love adding breadcrumbs to casseroles, it adds that extra crunch. 🙂

      It was getting nicer here till we had our snow storm last week. I’m hoping for it to get warmer soon!

  7. I don’t know why but I never think of making casseroles! My mom used to cook then quite a lot when I was a kid and seeing yours just reminded me of that. I definitely have to try it!

  13. I totally think of comfort with casseroles too! And I love that you added a creamy component (and gave the option for cashew cream as I don’t tend to have cream cheese). I also really like how this makes a big casserole and have leftovers.

  15. Lol, I think it’s funny whenever (as a blogger) you realize you have missed out on putting something vital on your blog- I don’t think I’ve ever posted a standard “casserole” dish either! This looks wonderful and I bet delicious with that cashew cream. Thanks for sharing! I’ve made a desk note to put this on my grocery list next week:)

    • Right? It’s so weird I missed posting this. I have a few more coming soon that I’m like, how do I not have this on here yet! Let me know if you try it Randi!

    • Hi Heather! I hand chopped the veggies that small but putting them in a food processor and pulsing a few times would be a great idea – and much less work!

  23. Smells Devine! I did tweak it a bit…
    Didn’t have broccoli so I rice some cauluflower, added a LG handful of chopped baby kale, some crushed rosemary, & some ground white pepper. Grilled some portabella mushroom caps and served with the casserole on top of the mushroom. Oh my, YUM!

  24. I really like this recipe. Didn’t have beans or celery on hand, had everything else and it still turned out so yummy. Is on my favorite recipe list.

  25. I am so happy I found this! I grew up on hotdishes. Since switching to a whole food plant based diet a year ago I have been slowly finding solid staple replacement recipes. This is definitely going in the rotation!

    Tweaks I made—
    I didn’t have any celery but had a costco size bag of mixed veggies. So I substituted the carrot and celery for 2 Cups of that. I also avoid cooking with oil so I added the bread crumbs without oil or vegan butter. It still came out great and it added a nice crunchy texture.

    • Hi Sarah, I’m so glad you liked this dish! Casseroles are some of my staples so I love making plant-based versions.
      Great substitutions! I’m so happy they worked for you. Thanks for letting me know what you thought of the casserole. I love hearing feedback. 🙂

  26. Oh my gahhh this was so good! I made it tonight, and my boyfriend, who isn’t usually big on casseroles, gobbled it up and went back for thirds! I forgot to buy beans at the store so I used lentils, and added some grated potatoes and greens to the veggie mix.

    I’m definitely going to make this again 🙂

  27. This was a delicious meal for a winter dinner with friends. I am a graduate student and don’t have time to cook every night so I doubled the recipe and it provided dinner for three and plenty of leftovers for the week. I would recommend eating it with a side salad to include more veggies!

  28. This was so good! More importantly – my husband loved it. It is VERY rare for my husband to love a vegan dish, so thank you!!
