Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) bag frozen vegetables
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup swiss cheese, shredded
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (6 ounce) can French-fried onions

Steps:

  • Combine vegetables, soup, 1/2 cup cheese, sour cream, pepper, and 1/2 can onions.
  • Pour into 1 qt casserole dish.
  • Microwave on high for 8 minutes covered with plastic wrap.
  • Top with remaining cheese and onions.
  • Microwave on high uncovered for 1 minute or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables in advance: Cut, wash, and store your vegetables in airtight containers in the refrigerator up to 3 days before cooking. This will save you time and energy when you're ready to assemble your vegetable medley.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more variety you have in your vegetable medley, the more flavorful and nutritious it will be. Choose a mix of vegetables that have different colors, textures, and flavors.
  • Roast your vegetables: Roasting is a great way to bring out the natural sweetness and flavor of vegetables. Simply toss your vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Sauté your vegetables: Sautéing is another quick and easy way to cook vegetables. Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and add your vegetables. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
  • Steam your vegetables: Steaming is a healthy way to cook vegetables that preserves their nutrients. Place your vegetables in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, and cover the pot. Steam the vegetables for 5-10 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Season your vegetables: Once your vegetables are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Vegetable medleys are a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They are easy to make, and can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or snack. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and nutritious vegetable medley on the table in no time.
