Veggie Bake

I'm often asked to bring vegetables to family dinners. I can bake a pretty mean green bean casserole, but I hate taking the same dish to two consecutive dinners. So, this weekend I was looking for a new vegetable recipe and came across this one. It was very easy to make, and it got rave reviews. It could easily become a main dish with the addition of chicken breast. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 16 oz of mixed California Blend vegetables, cooked but not overdone
• 1 cup of cooked rice
• 1 stick margarine (or better yet, support the dairy industry and use butter!)
• 1 can mushroom soup
• 8 oz Velveeta cheese
• Ritz crackers for topping

Directions

Melt together margarine, soup and cheese. Mix together with rice and vegetables. Crush Ritz crackers on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
