Cheesy Vegetable Casserole

Does anyone else hate tossing leftover veggies as much as I do? It feels like such a waste, especially if they were garden fresh veggies. Makes me sad.  Which is why at the end of the week, you can usually find my fridge stocked full of leftover veggies and not a whole lot else.  But I’ve got a much tastier and way less wasteful way of making those veggies disappear than throwing them away. This Cheesy Vegetable Casserole recipe that I wanted to share with you today.

Now, this dish is delicious if you make it a fresh vegetable casserole, following the exact recipe below.  BUT it always works well with frozen vegetables and leftover vegetables, too.  Plus it’s an easy potluck favorite.  Can’t go wrong with a cheesy recipe for baked veggies!  Feel free to sub in or out, any of your favorite vegetables in this recipe.  You can add pretty much any vegetable your heart desires. And THAT, friends, is what I love most about this cheesy vegetarian recipe.
