How to Make Vegan Cheesy Rice Cabbage Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Chop 1 medium head of cabbage into thin strips and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  3. In a large skillet, sauté 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 4 oz vegan sausage (crumbled) in 2 tablespoons Bragg's amino acids over medium-high heat until mushrooms soften (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Layer the mushroom mixture evenly over the cabbage.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup Follow Your Heart nacho cheese shreds over the mushroom layer.
  6. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and 1 medium onion, thinly sliced.
  7. Cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
  8. Spread the cooked onions over the cheese layer.
  9. In a bowl, combine 1 cup cooked rice with 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. Layer the rice mixture over the onions.
  10. Layer 1 cup shredded carrots over the rice.
  11. Top with 1 (14.5 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained.
  12. Sprinkle 1/2 cup breadcrumbs evenly over the tomatoes.
  13. Spread the remaining 1 cup Follow Your Heart nacho cheese shreds over the breadcrumbs.
  14. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  15. Bake for 55 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  16. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
