Cheddar Cracker Crusted Veggie Bake
This Cheddar Cracker Crusted Veggie Bake makes the perfect side dish to your favorite protein OR makes for a delicious meatless meal. Annie’s Organic Cheddar Squares give this dish that cheesy crunchy topping, yum!
This recipe is a take on one of my all time favorite side dishes, cheesy potatoes! Also known as funeral potatoes in the mid-west. My version is a Four Cheese Hash Brown Bake and is comfort food heaven!
What’s all in it?
I used all organic frozen veggies from my local co-op. You can certainly use fresh veggies too, whatever your favorites are! I added in bell peppers, broccoli, and tri-colored carrots. Find out where you can shop at your nearest local co-op!
The rest of the cheesy mixture consists of Greek yogurt, butter, organic cream of mushroom soup, milk, shredded organic cheddar cheese, and a good melting cheese like fontina or havarti. Mix everything together with some salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and bake!
Once bubbly and hot, top with crushed Annie’s Organic Cheddar Squares and more shredded cheese. Broil for just a couple minutes and the cheddar crackers will get nice and toasted.
Veggie packed with that addicting crispy topping, yum! I enjoyed this Cheddar Cracker Crusted Veggie Bake with some grilled chicken apple sausages, and it was even better the next day as leftovers!
Enjoy!
