I am always amazed that you can put that piping hot, steaming food right out of the oven into your mouth. :-)

[@joancahill6175]

[@musichappy94]

THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE RECIPE IN THE DESCRIPTION 🙌

[@doobisbone]

I always hit the "like" button because I love these guys and I know their food is gonna be good!

[@bethancoombs4882]

Made this yesterday and it was delicious, topped with thinly sliced potato instead of bread crumbs. Just finished leftovers cold from the fridge, so good. Thanks for keeping things simple and helping to make my gluten free vegan life tasty and so easy.

[@pspad7155]

Just got your book delivered this morning, i had a glance though it today and am going to do the 2 week plan, today is the last day I'm having cheese or dairy. Dedicating to a vegan diet full time. Thank you guys for making it that much easier and tastier to eat healthy, sending loads of love from Canada!

[@nanasstitches3188]

You two look like two halves of a whole! You work so well together. I love it. Looks yummy

[@moonshine4049]

I just made this for dinner tonight - cept for the bread crumbs - didn’t have and baking - no oven proof skillet. It was AH-MAY-ZING!! The bread crumbs and baking wouldve made it even more delicious!!! Thank you for a lovely hearty meal!

[@Jillyjogs]

That looks delish - I am going to try it this week. Thank you for you awesome recipes!

[@ElizabethSagewood]

This looks incredible- totally adding this to the repertoire!!

[@cameroncrawley5984]

Nice! Thanks for putting the recipe in the description! Please do more 5 minutes meals.. The rogan josh has now taken the top position in my rotation between the chickpea curry, kale stir fry, tikka masala and stuffed sweet potato. You're the reason it's been so easy to go vegan! Cheers boys :)

[@squeaksbuffeteria564]

Cameron Crawley Kale Stir-Fry and the stuffed potato and the citrus 🤤🤤👌 great choices.

[@mcurit857]

That looks like it would be a great holiday side dish! Looks delicious!

[@angiec4082]

I’m brand new to your channel and super stoked to have found it! I am a mom of 12 yr old twin girls and we are a plant powered family (also have an awesome boy!)! I love watching their bond as they grow, there’s nothing in this world like it! You two are just amazing! I’m hooked! Making this tomorrow! Cheers!

[@jasonsmith4483]

Cooked this last night. Absolutely beautiful. Had enough left over for a second night. Pimped it up in the second night by chopping some Linda McCartney sausages through it. Amazing. Our kids loved it as well. Cheers.

[@lilshudo]

love your recipes! thank you for sharing delicious vegan recipes :)

[@MrTheWoz]

I did this one and it is truly AWESOME!!!!!!!! I had to go out after it was finished so I didn't get to serve it till the next day. The overnight rest in the refrigerator made it ever better.. I served with some spiced up quinoa and it was truly delightful... Thanks, guys. I also just got the new book and can't wait to start the recipes in there... MMMMMMM you are the best

[@JM-wr2fo]

Love the way you say appreciated :D Awesome recipe! Thanks guys

[@betterbeSLYTHERIN]

Another great recipe guys! I'll be sure to add this one to the books , and try it out later this week. Much love! ❤️💋

[@doobisbone]

Never thought about using the whole broccoli... That's brilliant!

[@BenWorkmanAnimalFeeMre]

It's William it is a firm texture in the mix, very nice!

[@Thewoodlandnest]

Looks delicious! I'll make it this week

[@pypping]

Tried this one out tonight. It's a nice and easy to cook midweek meal. Next time I'll take less veg stock and more of the bread crumb mixture. Maybe I make some bread crumbs in a pan as they got soggy in the oven.

[@Countrygarden2023]

Definitely making this!

[@TheBarockTrickster]

Megalicious guys! Thank you very much for the lovely recipe

[@geraldinegranado3386]

Hope my twins get along as y'all when they grow up! Thx for the recipe looks great! Cooking!

[@tomorrowsmaps]

Loved the flavor of this - the veg stock + bechamel is definitely the secret. Makes the veggies taste really stand-out good. Would make great leftover lunches for the week and has way more vegetables than I would normally be able to fit in a work lunch meal.

[@Allioops810]

Looks great!

[@Goggsy08]

Just made this. Delish! 😋

[@lornamadden1099]

Im still coming back to this video every few weeks for a about three years such a great recipe!

[@dianneroy3208]

Looks amazing

[@lunnawonka319]

Mil gracias por anotar los ingredientes abajo en la caja de descripción 😃😃

[@dreygreds]

Definitely a winter comfort-food dish but I couldn't resist making this right away during the hot weather. :D Freakin' DELISH. I added mushrooms, cauliflower and goats cheese. So easy and amazing.

[@melgray297]

Oh my goodness 🤤 so happy I found your channel, so much yumminess 🙏💕🤤

[@jeanneamato8278]

I appreciate your imagination in cooking. Thanks

[@tinabraxton4906]

[@debbie2360]

Just become a vegan and enjoying it very much thank you for the great recipe ideas I love them

[@jessmacleod8192]

Will try this for the kids!

[@TheHungryGringo]

Creamy and vegan is hard but awesome when you can pull it off!

[@chazzhill-hayr6281]

I live off "The Happy Pear" recipes! I think it's safe to say that I need to buy the recipe books.... (Although just to support you, as I love watching the videos as I cook). THANK YOU for making my vegan life easy! Update: I made this last night. Holy bejesus it was incredible! My favorite thing I've made. I made a few tweaks, I added mushrooms, swapped the leek for bok choy as that's what I had, and added buttercup - sliced into cubes which I boiled along with the kumara to soften them slightly before cooking (so I could have the skins on the buttercup too). I am slightly obsessed with buttercup atm so I'm putting it in everything haha. Amazing recipe guys! THANKS

[@SaraHayden]

Chazz Hill-Hayr I was the same and got the yellow book at Christmas just to support them. I’m really surprised at how often I use it as I was always using their videos

[@80slimshadys]

whats buttercup?

[@chazzhill-hayr6281]

It's like pumpkin but a bit smaller.

[@DaveinTokiyo]

Oh my god! I've been after a good Casserole, this looks amazing! Gunna add this to next months' meal rotation... Cheers Lads.

[@SB-000]

Looks yummy!

[@kirstybrighton26]

I absolutely love this dish. Thank you guys, my most fave vegan cooks. I literally steal one of your meals for dinner everyday for me and my famalan. All 6 of us 😁😚🤪🤪🤪

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Mmmmm this looks like a winner!! Thanks guys❤

[@RES_Plumbing-Drain]

Looks good!

[@deannawest6413]

You guys are great!

[@TheChrissyschaefer]

looks amazing guys =) this will be great for winter, i never thought of putting a cream sauce in a casserole =)thanx guys

[@mhughes6891]

That looks amazing! Do you think adding some beans would be good?

[@kimpreston3052]

omg this is delicious! thank you xxx

[@jaynesixx2185]

Vegany, yum 🙆🙆🙆🙆

[@dantana5774]

ok, I'm trying this- looks delicious.. and, I had no idea about the broccoli stalk(been tossing them out) thanks!

[@gentilhomme7612]

Got the book (and an extra for a gift) - can’t wait to get stuck in to it.

[@kaitlin5304]

I finally tried Tamari and I am never going back to regular soy sauce! It is HEAVEN!

[@loveasmr5336]

Thank you for the recipe

[@melissaobrien5014]

delicious cooked it!!

[@melimel9529]

YEAH!! I grew up on casserole's too. Been missing them since I went vegan. THANKS guys. I'm back in business!!

[@mylenemartinez8518]

So cool

[@jeanneamato8278]

Cauliflower would be good in it too. Yummmmm.

[@ritawing1064]

Grinding walnut halves (without shells, of course) with the breadcrumbs ups the nutrition value. They brown very quickly, so under the grill rather than the oven perhaps.

[@DrDianeDAddie]

What a brilliant idea! Thank you for sharing it!

[@FruityLiana]

OH MY GAWWWWD!!!!! 😍😍😍

[@callummackay4282]

I’m going to make this today! Have you guys got any recipe ideas for Swede? Would love one :D

[@lareina6954]

So, this is hilarious. I'm watching your videos and the ad in the beginning is a Sonic ad talking about 'double the meat' haha Anyway, amazing video!

[@DeeDee-mo6tn]

Hahaha you seemed surprised that it looked and tasted so good :)

[@aislingaine22]

Going to give this ago this evening 🤞🏼

[@kennethfelipe823]

This is on my menu. Thanks guys.

[@lifeofaimee6259]

OMG that looks devine and not a tomato on sight!!!!! thank you

[@valeriebardascino4970]

Omg making this tonight OMG

[@Equinox1.5]

Do you think a can of rinsed flageolet beans might be nice added to this dish if you want to increase protein content? I like the idea of using oat milk for bechamel. I have found that it thickens up quite a bit when heated (e.g. for hot chocolate).

[@80slimshadys]

I would chuck beans in for protein

[@SaraHayden]

Tried it this evening, the volume of veg was twice what my dishes could handle so I made soup with the extra veg and used all the bechamel sauce and 300ml of veg stock (the rest of the veg stock went towards the soup!). Dish was delicious! Next time I’d either chop the sweet potato smaller or cook it for longer as some cubes were still crunchy! I’d also half the volume of veg and use more bechamel sauce and no stock to make it more creamy.

[@ahamatmabrahman]

Thank you guys I'm vegetarian so I,m putting cheese in mine and maybe a few beans. Big thumbs up, looks tasty

[@susanninx8805]

Stevens gorgeous on late late 😛😍

[@pamelakarabatsos1824]

Is there any way to make this oil-free? Looks sooooo good!!!

[@teresajose2280]

Never had a casserole like this. To be honest, I’ve only ever had sausage casserole and that was before I was vegan. I’m definitely gonna try this one. Thanks dudes. 🌱💚🌱💚🌱

[@axjmd]

SUPER DOOPER MEGA YUM!!!

[@vitodigiovanni4020]

😱😱👍👍

[@vegantina6565]

😋 🤤

[@broadwaybabyto]

Looks rocking! Two questions... 1) do you think some truffle oil or salt would go well in the white sauce or overpower the dish? 2) could you double the white sauce & reduce the veg stock to make it thicker/less runny?
