Three Layer Mexican Pie
Posted by Seedy on McDougall
Board
I thought this turned out rather well. The nacho cheaze was a dead-on ringer
for the real thing (at least to someone who hasn't eaten cheese in a long while
LOL). I think DH's and DS's would like this sort of thing - my omni brother
liked it.
Bottom Layer:
Beans and corn
Mix together and layer in bottom of 9X13 baking pan:
- 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
-
1 can dark red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
-
1 can sweet corn with peppers (drained and rinsed)
-
1 can chili beans in sauce (hot or mild)
-
1 TBS dehydrated onion flakes (or finely diced fresh)
Middle Layer:
Nacho Cheaze (based on recipe from Healthy Heart Foundation)
Combine in food processer or blender:
- 1 can great northern beans (drained and rinsed)
-
6 TBS nutritional yeast (not brewer's yeast)
-
1/2 C salsa (hot or mild)
-
2 TBS lemon juice
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp any type of prepared mustard
Blend until very smooth and creamy; pour over beans.
Top Layer:
-
1 bag of Hashbrown potatoes
I used Simply Potatoes Southwestern Hashbrowns but you can use regular
hashbrowns mixed with 1 TBS chili powder
Spinkle hashbrowns over cheaze sauce
Bake at 375 F for 45 minutes or until hashbrowns are brown and cheaze is
bubbly.
Makes 8 large serving (and would definitely max out your bean servings for
the day if you're doing MWL).
Fatfreevegan Note: The bean layer came out quite dry for a number of
us on the fatfree_vegan email list. We suggest adding at least a cup of a
tomato-based sauce to the bean ingredients. Otherwise, the recipe's
terrific, and the Nacho Cheaze is one of the best fake cheese sauces we've
tasted.
