Sweet Potato Quinoa Bake image

An easy casserole that is also pretty healthy! We make this dish once a week so we have a handful of pre-made lunches for throughout the week as it reheats very nicely.

Ingredients

1 cup water
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 (8 ounce) jar pesto
1 cup quinoa
1 cup sliced mushrooms
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat water in a small saucepan over high heat until hot but not boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk in flour until thickened. Add milk; whisk until flour mixture is thick.
Combine sweet potatoes, green onions, pesto, quinoa, mushrooms, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour in flour mixture; stir until well combined. Transfer to a 9x13-inch casserole dish; top with Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and sweet potatoes are cooked through, about 50 minutes.
