INGREDIENT NOTES:

HASH BROWNS:

• This is the basic ingredient in your casserole, which you will use in frozen form. It’s easy for you to add the frozen ones because you need to make them yourself. Your casserole will become softer with their use. Grate fresh potatoes if you want another option.

BEANS:

• Because you cannot use meat in this casserole, we will add different beans. Your dish will become fulfilling from using them. Also, your casserole will get protein if you include all these beans in it. Using chickpeas in your casserole is another idea as well.

CORN:

• If you are adding corn to your recipe, it will give it a good texture. Also, corn will give you a sweet taste in your casserole. Another idea for this can be using peas in your crockpot.

CANNED TOMATOES:

• Your casserole will get a tangy taste if you use them. Also, tomatoes help to add moisture to your dish in the crockpot as well. If you don’t have the canned ones, add chopped tomatoes to your dish.

BELL PEPPERS AND ONION:

• Both of them will make your casserole bites crunchy, and they will boost the taste of your dish as well. The color of this casserole will become better once you add them. You may add other colors of bell pepper to your casserole.

UNSWEETENED VEGAN MILK:

• Your casserole will get creaminess if you add this to it. Also, you don’t need to add any dairy product for the creaminess of your dish. Adding any unsweetened vegan milk will work for this purpose.

NUTRITIONAL YEAST AND SHREDDED VEGAN CHEESE:

• Shredded vegan cheese will melt easily in your crockpot when the casserole cooks. Also, adding nutritional yeast to your dish will improve the cheesy flavor of the vegan cheese. If you don’t have this cheese with you, you can only use nutritional yeast in your dish.

VEGAN TACO SEASONING:

• Here, you will use vegan taco seasoning because tacos are the basic flavor of your casserole. Your casserole will get spiciness from using this seasoning. You can make this seasoning at home if you need another option.

TOMATO PASTE:

• Your casserole will get a rich tomato taste if you use this. Also, your casserole mix will get thicker from adding it. If you don’t have it or like it, it’s fine to skip it.

SPICES:

• Here, we will add spices so your casserole tastes good. You can eliminate or add more spices the way you like.

VEGETABLE BROTH:

• Adding vegetable broth to your casserole will give it a good taste. Also, you will see that your dish is not sticking to the crockpot from its use. If you need another choice, add water.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. You will take a bowl and include all the listed ingredients in it.
2. Now you will mix them so they combine properly.
3. Include this mixture inside your crockpot and spread it equally.
4. Then you will cover it and adjust its settings to low so your casserole cooks in 4 or 5 hours.
5. You can also cook it at a high setting so it cooks in 2 or 3 hours.
6. Next, mix it up when it reaches its halftime if you want.
7. When your casserole gets ready, check the taste and use more seasonings if you prefer.
