| Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients except for the cheese in a 3 quart greased casserole. Bake for about 2 hours, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed, but the casserole is still moist. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the casserole and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes longer, or until the cheese is melted. Serves 6. This great vegetarian casserole does take quite a while to cook, but because it is made in the oven it is unattended time, allowing you to do other things. I oftentimes bake it on the weekend without adding the cheese and reheat it on a weekday, adding the cheese during the last five minutes of baking. For vegans, omit the cheese and the casserole is still excellent and very low in fat. If you are using a storebought vegetable broth, you may want to adjust the amount of salt to taste.
