Ingredients

  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 6 oz vegetable stock
  • 1 pound frozen vegetables thawed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups cooked brown or long-grain rice
  • 1 ½ cups cornflakes

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and vegetable stock. Stir until well blended.
  • Add the thawed and drained frozen vegetables to the soup mixture. Mix to combine.
  • Sprinkle the Italian herbs seasoning and garlic salt over the vegetable mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  • Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until it's well incorporated.
  • Finally, add the cooked brown or long-grain rice to the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with cornflakes.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. This allows the casserole to heat through and the flavors to meld.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbling.
  • Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve your Cheesy Vegetable Rice Casserole as a delicious side dish or a comforting main course.
