Meatless Potato Casserole Recipes

MEATLESS POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
• Pour vegetable broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add TVP and remove from heat. Allow to soften.
• Heat olive oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute potato slices in the hot oil just until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• While potatoes cool are cooling, add condensed soup, diced tomatoes, salsa, and chile peppers to the TVP.
• Place a layer of potato slices in the prepared baking dish, followed by a layer of the TVP mixture; repeat until done. Top with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and golden, about 1 hour.

CHEESY HAM CASSEROLE - WITH DEHYDRATED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan and set aside.
• Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover the potatoes with boiling water. Let sit while making the cheese sauce.
• To make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a 2-quartsaucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and stir to combine.
• Stir in the milk and continue stirring until sauce has thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted.
• Add the ½ cup hot water to the sauce and stir until well combined. Add black pepper to taste.
• Drain the potato slices and layer one half in the baking pan. It's ok if the slices are not fully hydrated. They will continue to get soft while baking. Top with the ham if using, and one half of the cheese sauce. Layer the remaining potato slices and top with the remaining cheese sauce.
• Cover the casserole and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
• Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

A VEGETARIAN FINNISH MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F and butter a 9×13 inch glass baking dish.
• Combine the broth, potatoes, rutabagas, parsnips, garlic, and bay leaf in a 4 quart soup pot, and bring the broth to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover partially, and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain well. Remove the bay leaf.
• Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and add 1/2 cup of the butter or margarine. Using an electric mixer, beat the vegetables until mashed but still chunky.
• Season with salt, pepper, and thyme and transfer the vegetables to the buttered baking dish.
• Melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the sliced onions and sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the onions are tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Season the onions with salt and pepper and spread evenly over the mashed vegetables.
• Bake uncovered, until heated through and the top begins to crisp, about 25 minutes.
