How To Make Vegetable Casserole

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish with some cooking spray.

2. Make the filling: Take out a large mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, egg, and cream of mushroom soup to it. Whisk or beat these ingredients together until they combine.

3. Assemble the casserole: Place half the thawed broccoli, cauliflower, and bean sprouts into the prepared baking dish. Pour half the egg mixture on top and add half the mozzarella and half the cheddar cheese on top of that. Repeat the layers again until you use all of the ingredients.

4. Bake and serve: Put the casserole with veggies in the oven and bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool the casserole briefly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Add other vegetables, like green beans, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, water chestnuts, thawed frozen corn, butternut squash, fresh mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach. You can even use a bag of thawed mixed frozen veggies.
• Use different cheese, like colby jack, swiss, taco cheese, or pepper jack cheese.
• Serve the casserole with sour cream and parmesan cheese on top for more flavor.
• You'll know the casserole is baked when the filling is set and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

How To Store and Reheat This Veggie Casserole

In the fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days.

In the freezer: Transfer the leftovers to a freezer-safe airtight container and freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheating: I like to put the leftovers in a casserole dish and bake it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts and the filling is warmed. Add more reheating time for the frozen casserole or let it thaw in the fridge overnight.
