Cheesy Vegan Potato & Broccoli Casserole

Step 1

In a medium sized saucepan, heat 2 tbsp of vegan butter medium-high heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until translucent and tender. Whisk in the flour, garlic powder, turmeric, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 2

Slowly whisk in the vegetable broth, followed by the unsweetened soy milk. Stir in the nutritional yeast and Daiya cheese (optional). Turn heat down to medium and simmer for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Combine bread crumbs, melted butter, garlic and onion powder, oregano, and a sprinkle of salt.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 9" pie plate with butter/margarine. Begin with 1 layer of thin sliced Creamer potatoes, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle with salt. Add a thin layer of sauce. Layer sliced broccoli florets, slightly over lapping. Sprinkle with salt. Add a thin layer of sauce. Repeat as many times as necessary (1-2 times). Be sure to salt each layer of raw potato or broccoli. Finish with a hefty layer of sauce. Top with seasoned bread crumbs.

Step 6

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes. Uncover, and bake for another 10 minutes. If crumbs aren't toasted, set under broiler until just toasted. Do not burn.

Step 7

Let sit for 15-20 minutes before serving.
