Johnna’s Cheese-y Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole (dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan)

Oh, how I love a breakfast casserole!  My Cheese-y Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole has all of the flavor of traditional hashbrown casseroles but without the questionable ingredients.

In my not-so-healthy eating days, I would make a casserole with a gloppy can of condensed cream-of-something soup, lots of cheese and sour cream and any processed food I could slide in.  Today, I try to make healthier choices but darn if I don’t still crave the same foods.

Instead of condensed soups, which I can’t find dairy-free and gluten-free anyway,  I make this recipe from The Gluten-Free Homemaker.  So quick and easy!  In the casserole pictured, I followed the recipe and used hemp milk, cornstarch and added 1/2 cup of sauteed mushrooms.  Voila! The equivalent of one can of condensed soup.

Because we are a small household, we always have casserole leftovers.  This one reheats nicely.  I may even like it better the next day.  Enjoy!
