Tofu Casserole With Mushrooms

Bergy's Note:

Tofu is tasteless but loves to take on the flavors of what it is cooked with. Some people say you have to acquire a taste. This is a well balanced meal in one pot dish.

This had a wonderful flavor. I used pre-cooked rice, so it didn't take as long. I used almond milk with some veg. broth that I had used to marinate the tofu ahead. I only marinated it as long as it took to cook the mushrooms and onions. Keeping this one.

I have made this many times it is delisious. One thing I would suggest. marinate the tofu in soya sauce or chicken broth to bring out some flavour

Looked beautiful when finished. Took about two hours to bake. The taste was o.k. but I wouldn't make it again.
