CHEESY VEGETABLE RICE CASSEROLE
My husband was craving something "cheesy and vegetable-y" so we threw some stuff in a pan and ended up with this. It turned out to be the most cheesy, creamy casserole I've ever had and it was fantastic. This is definitely a staple in our home now. We've done a version with just vegetables and a version with chicken.

CREAM CHEESY VEGETABLE CASSEROLE
A Quick, easy casserole made with frozen vegetables, soup and cream cheese. There are lots of ways to alter this recipe by using alternate soups, vegetables, etc. (update 12/08) after reading the reviews that some chefs thought this dish was too soupy, I made it again using 2 packages of frozen veggies, it wasn't soupy at all, so I've edited the recipe from 1 pkg. to 2 packages of veggies. I think this will correct the problem.

- Use a variety of cheeses: A variety of cheeses will give your casserole a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of hard, soft, and creamy cheeses.
- Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
- Top the casserole with a breadcrumb topping: A breadcrumb topping will add a crispy texture to your casserole. You can use plain breadcrumbs or add some grated Parmesan cheese or chopped nuts.
- Let the casserole rest before serving: Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
