Creole Casserole

Stuck At Home? No Problem.

With Mardi Gras in full swing, this is a perfect consolation dish for if you can't actually go down to New Orleans this year.

Although my family isn't vegan, we aren't big fans of heavy, cheesy casseroles -- hence the tofu. You can feel free to toss out the soy and load up the cheeses though.

A Tasty Potpourri

I love all the different textures and flavors this casserole brings to the table: creamy and smooth, spicy and deep, and don't forget about the crunchy top!

Since the cayenne is fairly hot, I recommend serving a light green salad alongside to cool your taste buds. Bread pudding couldn't hurt either. (Some say if you go light on the main course, dessert doesn't count!)
