Vegan Cheesy Rice & Cabbage Casserole image

I took a simple cabbage recipe that I found on a vegan website and spruced it up to add more "substance". This takes less than 20 minutes to throw together, so on busy nights I love to prepare this - it's very warm & cheesy and so it's the perfect comfort food. Plus, it's almost a 1-dish meal, though I like mine with a small baked potato & some corn on the cob on the side. I don't think any vegan cheeses come close to "Follow Your Heart" because it's so tasty and melts very well - any other substitutions I've used have not been as successful.
