Notes
- Use microwavable “steam in bag” vegetables for faster and easier prep.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- You can assemble the casserole a day in advance. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate. When ready to bake, remove the cover and bake as directed.
- Add cooked shredded chicken or diced ham for added protein.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with other cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different flavor.
- Use any frozen vegetables you have on hand or that your family loves.
