From the Recipe Creator:
In our family, boeuf bourguignon has been a staple for generations. I wanted a meatless alternative. All this dish needs is a French baguette. —Sonya Labbe, West Hollywood, California

Vegetarian Christmas Dinner FAQWhat vegetarian Christmas dinner ideas will everyone like?
It’s hard to think of a more crowd-pleasing vegetarian family dinner idea than a cheesy baked pasta, like lasagna or mac and cheese. To cut the richness and make it holiday-worthy, add some seasonal vegetables, like butternut squash or sauteed greens. A platter of cauliflower steaks, with their slight sweetness and mellow taste, might be a surprise hit at the table.
Are there festive vegetarian recipes I can make ahead for Christmas?
To keep stress low when planning a vegetarian Christmas feast, include some make-ahead sides or mains, like cranberry sauce, meat-free meatballs and veggie casseroles. These dishes can be prepared completely ahead and served at room temperature or assembled and then baked before dinner. For dishes like stuffed squash or a pot pie, make the filling in advance or prep the components so finishing the recipe on Christmas takes only minutes.
What sides go with vegetarian holiday main dishes?
You can make most traditional sides, including mashed potatoes, crisp salads and green vegetables like asparagus and green beans, to pair with vegetarian holiday main dishes. To adjust your favorite recipes to be meatless, replace chicken broth with vegetable broth, and instead of crumbled bacon in your salad, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing for a similar taste.
