How to Make 3 Vegetable Casserole

  3. Mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture into a greased 4-quart casserole dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
