​Are you tired of having green bean casserole during the holidays? 

I have been using a recipe for several years now that is a variation of the green bean casserole using mixed vegetables, and it has been a hit at my holiday dinners!

And since we are on the doorstep of the winter holiday season, why not change things up a little bit with a new recipe with that same home-cooked goodness?

This is the easiest recipe ever…just FOUR main ingredients! But of course, you can play with the recipe and make it your own! I usually double the ingredients to feed more people, but here is the basic recipe…

Ingredients

16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (I use the cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli mix)
10 3/4 oz condensed cream of broccoli soup
1/3 cup of milk
2.8 oz can of French onions
dash of salt (opt)
dash of pepper (opt)
splash of Worcestershire sauce (opt)

Preheat oven to 375˚.

Grease a baking pan of your choosing. (I usually use a 9 x 13 glass pan.)

Mix the first three ingredients plus about a third of the French onions in a bowl. Pour into your greased pan. (The grocery store was out of cream of broccoli, so I substituted cream of celery.)

Spread the remaining French onions evenly over the top.

Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
