Creamy, cheesy, flavorful. 5 ingredients and 5 minute prep time: This casserole couldn’t be easier yet it has a surprisingly dynamic flavor!
Last year when I hosted my in-laws for Thanksgiving, my mother-in-law whipped up her family’s favorite at the last minute.
I enviously watched her throw it all together in a bowl and pop it in the oven while I chopped, and sautéed and crossed my fingers that the stuffing would pass muster.
The casserole baked perfectly with 8 other things in the oven (no seriously, every inch of real estate was spoken for…all as I planned).
My husband and his brother devoured this Creamy Swiss Cheese Mixed Vegetable casserole – I barely had time to grab a spoonful! And now that the flavors are fresh in my mind, I remember why!
Thawed frozen mixed vegetables are mixed with cream of mushroom soup, sour cream and swiss cheese and then baked to melty, decadent perfection.
A little salty crunch from the fried onions makes this dish a smash hit that will sure to have everyone begging for you to make it again!
Look at that creamy, cheesy awesomeness.
Try this casserole instead of the usual green bean casserole at your next holiday feast or just whip this up any day of the week for a hearty, flavorful side dish!
You just won’t believe how easy it is. The instructions say 5 minutes of prep and that is literally all it takes. I actually got it in the oven and put my measuring cups, spoons and bowls in the dishwasher in that 5 minutes.
Creamy, cheesy, flavorful. 5 ingredients and 5 minute prep time: This casserole couldn’t be easier yet it has a surprisingly complex flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 bag (16 oz.) frozen broccoli, carrots and cauliflower mix, thawed and drained
- 1 can (12 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup (I use organic Pacific brand but you can use a standard 10 oz can too)
- 1 cup (4 oz) shredded Swiss cheese, divided
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp. Ground Black Pepper
- 1 can (2.8 oz.) French Fried Onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- I forgot to thaw my vegetables so I just microwaved them until they were thawed. Some were warm, but it didn’t make one bit of difference.
- Combine vegetables, soup, ½ cup cheese, sour cream, and pepper. Pour into a 1-quart casserole.
- Bake for 30 minutes. The original instruction say to bake it covered but I forgot.
- Top with remaining cheese and onions; bake uncovered, 5 minutes longer.
Notes:
Base on the original instructions I gather this recipe was from Durkee Brand. I only barely modified it.

November 23, 2014 at 12:17 pmI’m loving all of the cheesy goodness in this casserole, Lindsey! Swiss cheese is my favorite, yet a lot of people don’t cook with it! This casserole is such a fun way to jazz up some vegetables. Pinned!

November 24, 2014 at 8:43 amQuick and easy…now that’s how I roll during the holidays! And this casserole looks like the ultimate comfort food. You’ve got cheesy. You’ve got creamy. You’ve got crunchy. You even threw in some veggies. Nicely done, Lindsey! Happy (early) Thanksgiving!

November 24, 2014 at 11:12 amLady – your photos are awesome! I am not a huge fan of condensed soups – but even I would try this casserole – your pictures make it phenomenal!
BTW, Happy Thanksgiving Lindsey!
Lindsey
November 24, 2014 at 10:34 pmThanks, Shashi! I only use them occasionally. I’ll admit that my first bite was a “no-thank you bite” but then I couldn’t stop!! I also use an organic condensed mushroom soup with ingredients that I recognize and it comes in a box not a can! hoity-toity. Happy thanksgiving to you too!
