I have a package of California blend vegetables and need to turn it into a side dish like casserole. Any good recipes ? I need it to take to a thanksgiving dinner!

You can microwave it with some herbs and seasonings.

Were you looking for something more spectacular? I use that blend in a hot dish.

I would make some Uncle Bens Wild Rice, add the microwaved vegetables to it, and sprinkle some grated (not bottled) parmesian cheese on it! If time permitts, I would add spring onions and their greens to the vegies before ithey cook! If reheating wait to add the cheese!

There is a recipe on this thread, a few entries down, Found my Thanksgiving side dish, that you might be able to use those veggies in.

This is an extremely easy dish to prepare but equally as tasty:………………………………………………………… California Blend Swiss Vegetable Bake………………………………………………………………………………………………… 16 oz package of California Blend vegetables........................... 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup 1 can Durkee' French Fried onions, divided…………………………………………………… 1/3 cup sour cream 1/4 tsp pepper ………………………………………………………………………………4 oz grated Swiss cheese, divided ……………………………… Steam or microwave the veggies until just slightly tender. Then combine veggies with the soup, one-half of the Swiss cheese and one-half of the French Fried onions and place in lightly buttered baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the remaining cheese and onions; return to the oven for 5 additional minutes
