Breakfast Casserole



When this is on the breakfast menu, one of my girls is ecstatic. She absolutely loves it!





In a medium size bowl, place:
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 T. nutritional yeast
2 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1 T. tahini

Mix together until smooth. Add 1 cup of soymilk, a little at a time. Then stir in 1/2 cup dry potato flakes. Set aside to let it thicken.


In the bottom of a prepared 9 X 13 pan place frozen hashbrowns & soft bread cubes, at least an inch thick. Sprinkle with a vegetarian sausage or bacon of your choice.


Into the first mixture, crumble 16 oz. of firm tofu. Stir to mix. Spread over hashbrowns and bread.

Add more sausage or bacon if you like.
Cover with foil and refrigerate over night. Bake for at 350 degress for 1 hour -- 30" with foil on; 30" with foil off.

Drizzle with Cheezie sauce before serving.

Another option is to use a cheese substitute like Daiyo. I have done it that way & it works just fine. But, I think I prefer the Cheezie Sauce. My girls gobble it up either way!

Cheezie Sauce

4 oz. jar of pimento
1 cup raw cashew pieces
1 T. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
3 T. nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp. salt
1-2 T. lemon juice
1/3 cup quick oats
1 1/2 cups hot water

Blend all together in blender until smooth & thick. We like to add about a tsp. of liquid smoke to this sauce, as well. Gives it a great smoked taste & goes nice with the casserole. I often divide the sauce into 2 containers and put smoke seasoning in some of it and taco seasoning in the remainder.
