Vegetable Curry Casserole

Vegetable Curry Casserole

3 The idea for this dish came from a combination of things: 1. This weeks Chopped Challenge: Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Rice and Potatoes 2. Dinner for my vegetarian web developer (must feed the man that knows "the code"!) 3. My overwhelming craving for curry last night! So, here goes my thought process: Vegetarian Curry (check numbers 2 and 4 off of the list!), then top part of it with crumbled bacon (check part of number 1 off the list), then layer rice on the bottom of a pan, vegetables on top, sprinkle with cheddar cheese (bam! check 1 and 3 off the list!) If you didn't follow my reasoning, no worries, you really only need to know a couple of things: this dish is amazing, it can be prepared vegetarian (or with bacon) vegetarian curry, vegetarian curry casserole, vegetable casserole, curry casserole, recipes, food, sweet potato curry recipe, yellow curry casserole Ingredients
