Love easy, cheesy recipes like this yummy vegan breakfast casserole and this vegan breakfast shepherd’s pie? Then you’ll adore this cheesy vegan bake. It’s great for breakfast but it also makes a delicious dinner, especially if you have kids at home. This bake is cheesy with nutritional yeast and it’s got vegan sausage so it’s a tastebud pleaser beyond a doubt. But it also has lots of veggies packed away inside all that deliciousness, so you know you are feeding them something that’s both tasty and good for them. This is the kind of meal I put together in a hurry for Jay, when I have just about 15 minutes to get something together for dinner after wrapping up work and walking Lily and Leo in the evening. Almost everything here comes out of a packet (except the potatoes, although you can just buy mashed potatoes and add them to this dish). With schools about to reopen (where did the time go?) this is also a great lunchbox option. It packs beautifully and is delicious warm or cold.
Why you’ll love this easy, cheesy vegan dinner bake
It’s easy and it’s cheesy. 🙂 Two things anyone would have trouble saying no to. It’s healthy. The vegan sausage has lots of protein, but if you don’t want to use it, use this lentil filling from my vegan Irish shepherd’s pie recipe. It will take a bit longer, but it’s also super tasty. It’s kid friendly. With all those cheesy potatoes and the sausage, no kid will be able to resist. While I get that some of us don’t love vegan meats because they are processed, it is important to give a little when you cook for kids. Jay loves vegan sausage and vegan hot dogs and vegan pepperoni, and letting him eat these foods occasionally keeps him happy and helps keep him off the really bad stuff–processed meat–which he sees kids consuming at school all the time. It’s cook friendly. You just need 15 minutes of hands-on time to get this casserole together. After that it’s the oven that does the heavy lifting.
