Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz. bag frozen mixed vegetables thawed (two 12-ounce bags)
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1/3 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper to taste

  • Stir with a fork and spread cracker mixture over top of casserole dish.

Notes

NOTE: The original recipe calls for mayonnaise instead of sour cream. John doesn’t normally care for mayonnaise cooked in a recipe. I usually substitute sour cream instead.
 
NOTE: This can be baked at a higher temperature if you are trying to cook several casseroles at once. Adjust time accordingly.
 
NOTE: I have also prepared this casserole up to the point of baking and refrigerated it for several hours. If baking cold, it will take longer to bake. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
