Mushrooms are one of the healthiest veggies around; they are high in antioxidants and rich in B Vitamins, all of which can help promote longevity and protect against disease, including cancer.

-

- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups of broccoli or broccolini, chopped
- 2/3 cup of mushroom (choose between or use mixture of crimini, shiitake, oyster, maitake), chopped
- 1/2 red pepper, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter and avocado oil

Vegetable Mixture
Cheese Sauce
Directions
Heat oven to 400 degrees
Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp avocado oil in a cast iron over medium heat. Once melted, add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Then slowly add in your chopped broccoli, mushrooms, garlic, and red pepper if using. Sprinkle in salt and pepper and saute until cooked through and then remove from heat.
To make the cheese sauce, in a small pan melt 2 tbsp butter over low heat. Once melted, add flour and whisk until combined. Slowly drizzle in milk, whisking constantly, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and stir in Dijon mustard and 1/3 of grated cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Add cooked rice to your vegetable mixture and mix well. Then pour cheese sauce over and gently mix to ensure all pieces get some sauce. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
Bake casserole for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese has mostly melted, then run under the broiler until cheese is toasty on top.
