  1. These look great for anyone who isn’t lactose intollerant. I cannot have milk, wheat, egg, beef and rice isn’t too great either, but a little bit is ok. I already substitute what I can eat for those I cannot, but what can you do for me?

    1. Hi Jill! This is a lactose free recipe. It calls for almond milk – which is non-dairy/lactose free. It also adds some yummy flavor!

    1. The cooking time may increase, I would check the casserole after about 40 minutes and then every 10 minutes or so. Otherwise steel cut oats will work great!
