Grandma used to make this recipe at the holidays. The boys who didn't like vegetables would eat up these cheesie vegetables. this dish is very cheesey you could use 1 cup of each instead of 2 cups of each cheese - - a personal preference. =)

Tips:

  • Choose a variety of vegetables that will cook evenly. For example, carrots, celery, and potatoes are all good choices.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
  • If you are using a frozen vegetable blend, thaw it before adding it to the casserole.
  • Use a creamy soup as the base for the casserole. This will help to bind the ingredients together and create a flavorful sauce.
  • Season the casserole to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • Top the casserole with a layer of cheese before baking. This will help to brown the top of the casserole and add a cheesy flavor.
