Buffalo and Blue Cheese Veggie Bake
Who needs chicken when you have veggies covered in Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, right? Believe me, I love spicy wings as much as the next guy but I also love my veggies and probably don’t eat as many as I should.
So remedy that by adding some buffalo sauce to a mixture of potatoes, celery, carrots, and topping it all with shredded cheese and blue cheese. And you have yourself a winner in this veggie bake.
Right before Christmas, Paul and I received our first KitchenAid stand mixer attachment. The box was actually complete with a few different attachments – the food grinder attachment, fruit & vegetable strainer and the slice/shred attachment. And let me tell you, we have never had such an easy time slicing cheese. Especially for a casserole or veggie bake like this one – it literally takes 30 seconds flat and it’s done.
And as soon as we get moved and settled into our new home (more on that today!), I will be trying out the other attachments too. Believe it or not, with all of this talk about veggies, I’m dying to make my own ground meat!
This veggie bake is simple – combine any veggies you have, with whatever cheeses you like, throw it all together into a casserole dish, top with the sauce, the cheeses and bake. Simple and crowd-pleasing. Perfect for a side dish – or add some cooked chicken or chicken sausage for a one-dish meal!

Buffalo and Blue Cheese Veggie Bake Recipe
Yield: 4-6 servings
Total Time: 1 hour 30 min
Buffalo and Blue Cheese Veggie Bake with potatoes, carrots, celery, shredded cheese and a spicy buffalo sauce.
Ingredients:
2 pounds potatoes (I used sweet potatoes and red potatoes)
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
1 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
3 Tbs. grapeseed oil
2 tsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste
3 ounces white cheddar cheese, shredded
3 ounces Colby-jack cheese, shredded
3 ounces blue cheese crumblesDirections:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x9 baking dish. I spray mine with oil using my Misto sprayer.
Place the potatoes, celery, carrots and green onions in the baking dish and toss to combine.
In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce, oil, brown sugar, vinegar and salt and pepper. Pour over the veggies in the baking dish and stir to evenly coat. Spread the white cheddar cheese in an even layer, followed by the Colby-Jack cheese, followed by the blue cheese crumbles.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes, until the veggies are tender. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubble.
Cassie’s notes:
I meant to toss the blue cheese into the sauce before pouring it over the veggies, but spaced it out. So I ended up putting it on top. Feel free to stir some into the sauce and then sprinkle some over the top as well.If you prefer to make this a main dish instead of a side, toss in some sliced chicken sausage with the veggies and bake as directed.

The only food my husband misses since going meat free is buffalo chicken. I need to try this out on him to see if it will curb his craving!
I must try this! My husband is obsessed with buffalo, franks red hot and blue cheese!!
This is a fun recipe, and sounds delicious! I agree, no need for chicken, the hot sauce is fabulous on almost everything:-) What a fun recipe to enjoy during Super Bowl:-) Hugs, Terra
Yummeee!! I love Franks sauce, so good on loads of stuff 🙂
When I first glanced at the photo it looked like nachos but since you added veggies it’s totally healthy! I really really really need to lose some baby weight!

What a fun and creative take on buffalo wings!!!! You know I’m all about veggie-filled dishes. Love this!
This looks like an awesome healthy twist on a classic football flavor. And really, with Frank’s buffalo sauce and cheese nvolved, I know it’s going to be a winner!
franks is great on anything! my husband pours some on the frozen veggies he takes to work as part of his lunch everyday (he’s so good…he knows to take a fruit + veggie in his lunch every day, even when i don’t make his lunch for him). 🙂
I’ve been wondering if these attachments were worth the investment. I got the pasta roller and some cutters for Christmas and love them!

I love vegetarian (and vegan) versions of comfort foods. This one looks great!
I have never had Franks sauce! But I really want some now so I can make this! And I dont even care that there isnt any meat in here. I could eat that entire casserole dish full!
Mmm, this looks great! There’s nothing like a good portion of veggies and cheese 🙂 Look forward to the SEO series today, also!

This sounds delightful. I always eat all the celery out of the buffalo wings basket, anyway.
