We absolutely love new ways of making traditional, hearty dishes healthier plant-based ones, and are very proud of this swap! Instead of ground beef and hours of preparation, we've swapped soaked Karma Nuts Raw Jumbo Cashews and a one-pot prep for this cozy casserole. Super easy with tons of leftovers, it's a perfect weekday meal!
