Fun times and great food were enjoyed by all at ARC’s Fourth Annual Vegan Hotdish Cookoff. From dal and curry to brinner and lasagna, there was a little of everything for everyone!

Thanks to all our contestants: Betsy Born, Eric Burnham, Henry, Eric Johnson, Larisa Lisinovic, Shaun McClay, Mary Montoya, Sadie Schrader, Barbara Stasz, and Colleen Williams.

This year’s winning recipes were Judges’ Choice Zen Pizza Hotdish by Mary Montoya (two time winner!) and Audience Favorite Fresh Veggie Casserole by Sadie Schrader (who also won for Best Church Lady Attire). Mary and Sadie each received a custom casserole with their winning titles etched into the casserole lid. Recipes are here.

Thanks also to our awesome panel of judges: Megan Duke, 2015 Audience Favorite Winner, Unny Nambudiripad of Compassionate Action for Animals, and Arwyn and Teresa of Glam Doll Donuts.
