I made this for dinner tonight, and will definitely make it again. Now that I know what the end result is like, I will find it easy to experiment with different vegetables. I used a 11x7 glass baking dish and it was just the right size for four cups of vegetables, and was ready in 30 minutes. Thanks for posting it Molly53.
