Vegan Cheesy Rice Casserole

(Makes 4-6 servings)

This is a great way to use leftover rice (and comes together really quickly if you do). 

Preheat oven to 375F

Saute until tender:
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Add:
3 tbsp sun dried tomatoes, diced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano

Mix together and cook just until everything is combined and heated

In a bowl, combine above ingredients with:

3 cups cooked rice (I use brown)
2 cups greens (kale, collards, spinach, etc. or some combination), chopped
2 cups pepper, chopped
2 cups vegan cheese sauce ... see below for recipe**
(I usually use frozen veggies and thaw them before adding. You could substitute different veggies.)

Transfer mixture to 9x9 baking dish
Optional - top with breadcrumbs (or crumbled gluten free crackers if avoiding gluten) 
Bake for 25-30 mins until heated through and bubbling
