A delightful and easy-to-make casserole featuring a medley of vegetables, creamy cheese, and a crispy topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Cook the frozen vegetables according to the package instructions, then drain them well.
Draining the vegetables thoroughly prevents the casserole from becoming watery.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables, onion, celery, cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise. Stir until well mixed.
Mixing the ingredients evenly ensures every bite is flavorful.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Using panko breadcrumbs gives a crunchier topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is heated through.
Keep an eye on the casserole during the last few minutes to avoid over-browning.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Cheesy Vegetable Bake!
Allowing the casserole to rest helps it set and makes serving easier.
