Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) if baking, or prepare a microwave-safe 2-quart casserole dish.

  3. Stir in half of the French-fried onions, mixing gently to distribute evenly.
  4. If baking, cover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until vegetables are hot and tender. If microwaving, cover and cook on HIGH for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat or oven and top with the remaining French-fried onions.
  6. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to set.

Note

For a vegan version, ensure the cream of broccoli soup and French-fried onions are dairy-free and vegan-certified.

You can substitute fresh or thawed vegetables if preferred, but reduce the cooking time accordingly.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder to the sauce mixture.
