"From Favediets.com. They say "This veggie and potato casserole is a delicious way to enjoy a vegetarian meal or have a flavorful side dish with your main course. Try mixing and matching your favorite vegetables for a variation." When I made it I used a combination of broccoli and cauliflower. I did add the salt, pepper, and spices; the original calls only for garlic. I might switch up the cheese next time as well, as I think mozzarella or monterrey jack (think something gooier) would be even better."

Very nice casserole! I omitted the olive and used a blend of mozzerella and Parmesan cheeses - your note is right on - the gooey cheese was a great touch! I also included the optional basil and oregano - yum. Thanks for sharing!

I made this as written, only leaving out the olive. I prepared this ahead of time for dinner, and then just popped it in the oven to bake. Veggies were very tender and flavorful - the basil was a definite great option. This went very nicely with recipe#381775 and will be something I make again. Thanks for posting. Made for "I RECOMMEND" tag game.

I used this as a main but it would be a perfect all-in-one side for pretty much anything I can think of. I had a few aging asparagus spears that I chopped and added and I did use more Parm than ask for. YUM!

I'm another one who likes to eat potatoes that haven't been peeled, but other than that, your recipe was followed right on down & I shared this great vegetable dish with a neighbor couple, & we all loved the veggie combo! Will certainly be making this one again! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

This dish is a winner! DD and I both loved it. I made some very minor changes which I don't believe affected the final outcome of the recipe. I didn't peel the potatoes and used garbanzo beans for the white beans. I also used pimiento stuffed green olives as my family doesn't care for black olives. I did sprinkle on the optional basil. This recipe is going into DD's Favorites cookbook. Thanks for sharing. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!! To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck. Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/cc-banner-7-09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/hcabc.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
