This creamy mixed vegetable casserole is a delicious addition to any dinner table. Whether you serve it with a weeknight meal or at a holiday table, it will quickly become a favorite.
One of my favorite ways to cook veggies is to simply steam them. In fact, that’s what I do most nights. For this reason, when I serve any of my vegetable casseroles it’s a real treat.
Some of the things I like to serve this with are this flavorful salsa chicken and this delicious mock Swiss steak.
It’s also good with a rotisserie chicken you pick up from the grocery store. Add this tomato cucumber corn salad, and you’ll have most of your recommended daily vegetable servings in one meal.
My husband and I both enjoy foods with an explosion of flavor, which is why I rarely use a recipe as-is.
For the most part, I switch quite a few ingredients to make them totally different from the original version.
Benefits of Eating Vegetables
According to Medical News Today, all vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber. However, some are higher in one element than others, which is why I like to mix them up whenever possible.
Whether you use fresh, frozen, or canned, mixed vegetables give you a wide range of nutrients. Some of the ones in the cans of veggies I used are carrots, peas, green beans, celery, and more. You simply can’t go wrong with this variety.
Creamy Mixed Vegetable Casserole Ingredients
You’ll love the fact that all of the ingredients are common things to keep in the fridge and pantry.
The creamy vegetable casserole has mixed vegetables, onion, celery, mayonnaise, cream of chicken soup, Worcestershire sauce, and butter.
How to Make a Creamy Mixed Vegetable Casserole
This dish is mostly about mixing. The ease of making this dish gives you the perfect opportunity to put the kids to work.
Let them pour everything into the bowl and stir. They’ll be delighted to have something so delicious come from their labor.
First, drain the vegetables.
Then, combine the vegetables, onion, celery, mayonnaise, and soup in a mixing bowl.
Next, combine the Worcestershire sauce and melted butter in a smaller bowl. Pour that into the vegetable mixture and stir.
Finally, pour the entire mixture into a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top.
Bake this until it bubbles and the breadcrumbs turn a light golden brown.
Serve it hot and watch all the happy faces after everyone takes their first bite.
Dessert Suggestions and More Recipes
After everyone finishes this delicious meal with the mixed vegetables, serve some of these butterscotch pecan cookies. That’s the perfect finishing touch.
Or you can give them a couple more options with these pecan brownie cookies or these peanut butter cookies.
What I like about cookies is that you can make them in advance, and they’re just as good for a couple of days afterward.
As a matter of fact, I remember both of my grandmothers having cookie jars. It was fun opening the jars to see the surprise inside—almost always homemade cookies.

My family would love this! As to the cans of vegetables and soup mentioned, do you mean the 15 or 16 ounce size cans? We prefer frozen vegetables due to their lower sodium content and want to use the correct equivalent amounts. Thanks.

Hi Kathy. Yes, I used the 15-oz. cans. If you use frozen vegetables, they'll be firmer than the canned ones, or you can cook them first. I hope your family enjoys the casserole!
