You’ll need:

• 1 large onion
• 1 cup Oleo (margarine) or butter, divided in half
• 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
• 1 jar of Cheez Whiz
• 1 cup of Minute Rice
• 1 (12-ounce) package of frozen California blend vegetables (broccoli and cauliflower)
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs

Substitutions And Additions

VEGETABLES: I always like to add a little bit of creativity and make this veggie casserole a little different every time.

You can replace the California blend frozen vegetables with your favorite vegetable mixture or even any leftover veggies from your fridge.

MEAT: Add protein to your delicious casserole by adding chunks of leftover chicken breast.

BREADCRUMBS: I have various herb breadcrumb mixes I like to rotate through when I’m making this casserole.

Rosemary, basil, thyme, and parsley are all great choices. I’ve also tossed in French-fried crispy onions on top of this comforting side dish.

CHEESE: Cheese is also a top choice to take this dish to the next level. Shredded cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese works wonders for adding flavor to the casserole crust.

TOPPINGS: With your scoops of creamy casserole, toppings and garnishes really add an extra flair.

I serve mine sometimes with extra French fried onions, bacon bits, sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or just more shredded cheese sprinkled on top.

HERBS: Herbs like fresh thyme or rosemary will elevate your casserole with an added aroma.

How To Make This Vegetable Casserole Recipe

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

STEP TWO: Dice the onion and saute it in a large skillet with ½ cup of Oleo until translucent, then add the other ingredients, except the breadcrumbs, and stir well.

STEP THREE: Add the mixture to a greased casserole dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and dot evenly with the remaining Oleo.

STEP FOUR: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes until bubbly and the breadcrumbs are browned.

How To Serve

Served this mixed vegetable casserole alongside a juicy chicken or easy meatloaf, this vegetable casserole is simply the star side dish.

Add these fluffy dinner rolls on the side for a weeknight option.

Bring it, along with green bean casserole, chicken and rice casserole, or cowboy casserole, to potlucks.
