Bubblin' Veggie Casserole
"Mmm, creamy, bubblin' hot veggies! A nice side-dish for chicken or pork. I have also added pearl onions to the mixture, and they worked very nicely. Although this is a "side-dish", I have found that it makes a wonderful vegetarian dish when served over biscuits. Any which way you do it, its pretty darn good!!:)"

Wow! All I had on hand for cream cheese was the garlic and chive, and I had cream of boccoli soup instead of celery. I also had a package of sliced baby bellas that needed to be cooked and a summer sqash and a zuccini too so in those went and I ommited the water chestnets just because I ran out of room! Very yummy and EASY!!!! -
What better way to improve veggies then with cream cheese. I usually try to make a new recipe exactly as is state but silly me didn’t check my supplies closely enough. I therefore had to use cream of mushroom instead of cream of celery. I added a stalk of celery in addition. I plan to try this recipe with the cream of celery next time. I would probably add salt to the veggies next time as they didn’t have much flavor and I had to add a lot when it came time to season to taste. I had to add celery salt, onion salt and garlic powder to get it right. I thought I had bread but only had one slice (figures!) so I made crumbs with that then I used a flour/corn flake misture that I had premixed for breading chicken. I added that to the bread crumbs along with a few pats of butter. All in all I liked this dish and will make it again. I think it could also be altered to include some other spices (Italian seasonings, for example) and would be just as good.

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!)
I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit.
My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
