    We made two pans of this and froze it in preparation for being home with a new baby. It was so delicious we thawed the second pan out right after we finished the first! I made it with oat milk & dairy free cheese – you would never know, still creamy & yummy!

  2. 5 stars
    So easy and delish! Made mine vegan but still “cheesy”. Added some pepper flakes, teeny bit of lemon juice and some homemade “chicken” bouillon powder for extra flavor. So good.

    This is the second time Ive made this. I added mushrooms and extra spinach this time around. Also cooked my quinoa in chicken broth for added flavor. Also a little extra cheese. Love this recipe. Eat it for breakfast and lunch. Tons of flavor.

  4. I have read these instructions 3or 4 times. Ingredients says 2 cups of water directions say nothing about 2cups of water. What am I missing

  5. 2 stars
    Delicious ingredients but came out sooooo bland. Any ideas what would make this more palatable. Sadly, I would only rate it 2 out of 5.

    1. I am not sure. More cheese and garlic? Maybe that will help. This one has good reviews so people like it and we liked it when I posted it back then. Everyone has different taste buds though.

    I liked this recipe as a base. I added in a full bag (12oz?) of riced cauliflower, some cremini mushrooms & chopped green bell pepper, which I sautéed in with the onion. Based on other reviews, it sounded like this needed more spice so I added in dried thyme & basil as well as black pepper and crushed red pepper. Next time I’ll cook the quinoa in a mix of water/veggie broth for more flavor.
