Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Steam or blanch your mixed winter vegetables for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Drain well to remove excess moisture.
  3. Combine your prepped vegetables with the low-fat cream of mushroom soup, whole milk or plant-based milk, and shredded cheese. Add dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Spread the creamy vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top.
  5. Combine the breadcrumbs with melted butter until well-coated. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the casserole.
  6. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  7. Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving to help layers settle.
