[recipe] Wild West Veggie Casserole

[Guest guest]

A long time ago I got a recipe called Wild West Casserole

from a crock pot cooking group, but it wasn't vegetarian.

I made a few adaptions and also added some much

needed spices [in my opinion], and this is the dish

I came up with. It is very easy to throw together,

not to mention filling and delicious. I hope you

enjoy it as much as I did. Use whatever veggie

ground you enjoy... I used Yves. Next time I might try

using Yves Taco flavored veggie ground.

 

Wild West Veggie Casserole

 

1 medium onion, chopped

1 Tbs. olive oil

1 (12 oz.) package veggie ground

5 to 6 potatoes, sliced thin

1 (15 oz.) can red beans, rinsed and drained

1 (14.5 oz. ) can diced tomatoes

1 Tbs. flour

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. smokey paprika

1/2 tsp. cumin powder

Salt and pepper

 

Saute the chopped onion in the vegetable oil until softened.

Mix with the veggie ground and pour mixture into a greased

crock pot. Layer the sliced potatoes over top. Add the beans

on top of the potatoes. Mix the can of diced tomatoes

[juices and all] with the flour, chili powder, paprika, cumin,

and salt & pepper to taste. Pour this over the bean layer,

but do not stir. Cook on low for about 7 hours or until potatoes

are tender.

Yield: about 4 to 5 servings

Served with extra hot sauce, sour cream, chopped black olives,

lettuce, tortilla chips, etc. Whatever strikes your fancy.

Let them throw their curses. If inside, I am connected

to what's true, my soul stays quiet and clear. Do you

think Shiva worries what people say! If a few ashes

fall on a mirror, use them to polish it.
