Veggie Casserole

By devogirl

A weelicious reader sent me the idea for this recipe and I absolutely love it! It’s the perfect dish to make when all you have on hand are a few bags of frozen vegetables or a refrigerator full of cooked ones and want to create something fast and delicious that your kids will love. I used broccoli and corn because I too had several bags in the freezer, but you could also try peas, cauliflower, or any other combinations you love.

You can also toss this dish together in the morning, put it in the fridge and pop it into the oven that night. I love a one pot dinner that’s so easy to pull off!
