It seems to me that most everyone really enjoys the green bean casserole, This is a yummy substitute for the loved side dish.
It is a little different so can help teach little ones about different veggies that they may not like or have not tried. Sometimes introducing them in a not traditional way will help them get to know other foods, with out the ‘eww that is gross’ first thought of a new veggie.
Ingredients:
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1/3 cup sour cream
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen vegetable blend (carrots, broccoli and cauliflower) thawed
1 (6 ounce) jar mushrooms, sliced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (2.8 ounce) can fried onions
1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
Instructions:
Place the soup in a large mixing bowl. Add the sour cream and stir together to combine. Add the vegetables and mushroom. Stir to cover.
Sprinkle in the pepper and stir to incorporate all the ingredients together. Place 1/2 of the can of fried onions and 1/4 cup of the Swiss cheese. Stir well.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the mixture into a 2 quart casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil.

Remove foil and sprinkle the remaining onions and cheese over the top of the mixture.
Return uncovered, to the oven and continue cooking 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and casserole is bubbling.
