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.

    Perfect! I am looking to use up a leftover holiday cheese ball, some crackers, and odds and ends of veggies and a tiny bit of turkey. This is exactly the recipe to make the whole thing a new dish. ***Pinned

    I loved the flavor of the casserole and the fact it had cream cheese, but I found it too dry. The next time I make it I will put a white sauce added to the cheese mixture to add some moisture to the cheese. I feel that this will greatly improve this recipe, if you like a moister casserole. Thanks for the recipe idea!

    I just made this last night. Overall, not a bad recipe. I made it exactly as the recipe detailed, omitting the zucchini though, and found the result to be on the blander side. I would recommend seasoning the cheese mixture with *something* before adding it into the veggies. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to make this again. I think I'll add some french onion soup mix to the cheese mixture. Let's see what happens.
