Ingredients

• 1 c. quinoa
• 2 c. chicken broth
• 4 oz. (1/2 block) cream cheese
• 1 & 1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
• 1-2 t. onion powder
• salt & pepper to taste
• any seasonings (i.e. italian seasoning, garlic, herbs, etc.), optional

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

2. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, reserving 1 c. of the sharp cheddar. Spread into a baking dish (or 4 individual sized baking dishes).

3. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.

4. Bake at 350 F for about 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. It’s really fun to experiment with quinoa. It’s great in place of rice in many recipes. Enjoy!
