Step 3: Combine the Main Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetables with the creamy soup. Stir until the vegetables are evenly coated. This is where the magic happens—the soup transforms the vegetables into a velvety, flavorful base.
- Tip: If you want extra creaminess, you can mix in ½ cup of milk or sour cream. This is optional but adds a richer texture.
Step 4: Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the vegetable and soup mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure every bite gets a creamy coating.
Step 5: Add the Topping
Sprinkle your choice of topping generously over the casserole. Fried onions will add a crispy, savory crunch; shredded cheese will melt into a golden, gooey layer; crushed crackers give a buttery, crisp finish.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the mixture is bubbly. Keep an eye on the topping to prevent burning.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the casserole to set slightly. Serve it alongside roasted meats, turkey, or a hearty main dish—it’s guaranteed to be a hit.
