Description

This Slow Cooker Cheesy Vegetable Casserole is a comforting and easy-to-make dish featuring a flavorful blend of California medley vegetables cooked in a creamy cheddar cheese sauce. The slow cooking process melds the flavors beautifully, resulting in a warm, cheesy, and tender vegetable casserole perfect for a cozy meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 24 oz California medley vegetables (two 12 oz bags)

Dairy and Soup

  • 10.5 oz cheddar cheese condensed soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the California medley vegetables, cheddar cheese condensed soup, vegetable broth, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker. Mix everything well to evenly distribute the cheese soup and broth among the vegetables.
  2. Cook on Low: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the mixture on low heat for 3 to 4 hours. This slow cooking allows the vegetables to soften and absorb the cheesy sauce flavors thoroughly.
  3. Add Remaining Cheese: After the initial cooking time, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Replace the lid.
  4. Final Melt and Tenderize: Continue cooking with the lid on for an additional 30 minutes. This final step melts the cheese topping and ensures all the vegetables are perfectly tender and the casserole is hot and bubbly.

Notes

  • You can substitute the California medley vegetables with any frozen mixed vegetables of your choice.
  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the mixture before cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker casserole, reduce the vegetable broth to 1/3 cup.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, ensure the cheddar cheese condensed soup is vegetable-based and not containing meat broths.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
