Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Rinse quinoa well. Cook in 3 cups boiling, salted water for 15-20 minutes, or according to package directions.

Preheat oven to 375.

Saute onion and mushrooms with salt over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes or until slightly softened. Remove any extra liquid from the mushrooms.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients with the hot quinoa. Mix well.

Add to a lightly sprayed 9x13 baking dish. Spread out mixture evenly and lightly press down. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top.

Place in a freezer safe and oven safe container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, then foil.

Heat in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until center is hot. Add additional time if casserole isn't thawed completely before baking, checking every 10-15 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, simply cover with foil and continue baking until heated through.

Tip: you can also freeze smaller portions in individual containers to reheat a single serving or a couple servings at a time.
