This Easy Vegetable Rice Casserole Recipe is so incredibly tasty! This one is vegetarian but you can definitely veganize it simply by substituting the cheese with a vegan alternative. Loaded with mixed veggies such as cauliflower (you could substitute broccoli), carrots, onion, green beans, peas and corn, this rice dish is covered in cheese. Let me show you how to make it.

How to make Easy Vegetable Rice Casserole Recipe
You’ll need to prep a few ingredients such as the steamed cauliflower. Broccoli would also be a great alternative or addition.
You’ll also want to prep your white rice. I actually did mine the day before and just warmed it in the microwave for a minute before assembling the casserole.
I am using Cream of Mushroom soup and there are plenty of vegan alternatives, so don’t stress.
I sauteed the onion and frozen mixed veggies in olive oil.
Add everything together and mix well with the half of the cheeses.
Add the mixture to a greased baking dish.
Top with the remaining cheeses.
Bake at 400 degrees until golden and bubbly. Keep in mind that vegan cheeses do not melt the same, so keep an eye on things so it doesn’t get too browned.
Here’s an inside look. So creamy and delicious. I hope you give it a try.
