CREAM CHEESY VEGETABLE CASSEROLE



Cream Cheesy Vegetable Casserole image

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.

CHEESY VEGETABLE CASSEROLE



Cheesy Vegetable Casserole image

Easy to make and good to eat! Sometimes I like this better with the broccoli cauliflower mixture than with the California blend.

Provided by Parsley

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1 lb) bags california-blend frozen vegetables, thawed, the broccoli cauliflower and carrot blend
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2-2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crushed buttery cracker, Ritz
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Grease a 1 1/2 - 2 quart casserole; set aside.
  • Drain off all water from thawed veggies.
  • Place drained, thawed veggies in a large bowl. Add ALL remaining ingredients.
  • Mix everything well.
  • Pour mixture into the casserole dish.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables provide the best flavor and texture to your casserole. If using frozen vegetables, thaw them thoroughly before adding them to the casserole.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a Good Quality Cream Cheese: The cream cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  • Season the Casserole Well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or cumin, to taste.
  • Top the Casserole with Crunchy Croutons: Crunchy croutons add a nice contrast to the creamy casserole. You can use store-bought croutons or make your own by toasting bread cubes in the oven.
