This Vegan Casserole Is Like No Other You Have Seen Before!

Have you ever heard of a buffalo chickpea and rice cauliflower vegan casserole?  Yeah, neither have I, but it has surely piqued my interest.  This casserole made by the one and only Tonia Carrier is so intriguing.  She always has the most imaginative recipes to share with us, but they are also generally very simple to make, which makes them perfect in my opinion!  Let’s take a closer look at how she creates this vegan masterpiece.

Back To The Vegan Casserole Sent From The Heavens!

Buffalo Cauliflower is one of my favorite foods, so having it made into a casserole sounds heavenly!  Who would have thought to do that?  Not me, but I am glad someone did.  Having added rice in the casserole soaked in buffalo sauce just sounds incredible to me!  I love me some buffalo sauce!  This is one of those recipes that is perfect year-round.  Doesn’t matter what season it is, buffalo cauliflower anything is a year around food!  Haha.  I am posting the recipe below so you can make this dish for yourself and/or your family.  So give it a try and let us know how you liked it.  And if you are looking for other delicious vegan recipes from Tonia or any of our other guest chefs, we have plenty to choose from so be sure to check those out too.  Until next time…keep cookin’!
