With green broccoli, golden cheese and sweet red peppers, this bountiful bake has plenty of eye appeal...and it makes a tasty and satisfying meatless entree or side dish. From Sun City West, Arizona, Gretchen Widner sent the recipe for her comforting rice-and-veggie combo. Ingredients:
2 cups hot cooked rice |
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup egg substitute |
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt |
filling: |
3 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed |
4 ounces chopped fresh mushrooms |
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
1/2 medium onion, chopped |
1 cup egg substitute |
1/2 cup fat-free milk |
1/2 teaspoon onion salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the rice, cheese, egg substitute and garlic salt. Press firmly into a 2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place the broccoli, mushrooms, red pepper and onion in a steamer basket over 1 in. boiling water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender.
3. In a large bowl, combine the egg substitute, milk, onion salt and pepper; stir in vegetables. Pour over crust. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 6 servings.
