Mixed Vegetable Casserole will be your family’s new favorite side dish recipe. Even those who aren’t fans of vegetables love this casserole!
I love Thanksgiving! It’s really probably a close tie with Christmas for me. All of the delicious food, I’m just imagining the spread right now. But it’s more than the food, I love spending time with family and taking time to remember all of our blessings.
We always have a lot of choices at Thanksgiving and this Mixed Vegetable Casserole is a staple for our Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law has even started making it on the years that we spend Thanksgiving with them. Even those who don’t like vegetables love this casserole so try it out for your family this year!
Ingredients:
– 1 large package frozen mixed vegetables
– 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
– 1 cup mayonnaise
– 1 cup chopped celery
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 1 stick margarine
– 1 tube crushed Ritz crackers or you can use Cheez-its
Directions:
1. Cook vegetables according to package directions, until just tender
2. Drain vegetables and mix with cheese, mayo, celery, and onion
3. Put into greased casserole dish
4. Melt margarine and mix in crackers or Cheez-its
5. Put cracker crumb mixture on top
6. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes
This is a simple and delicious vegetable dish that we always have at Thanksgiving. I like doing the Cheez-it’s on top because it adds a little extra flavor to this casserole.

That sounds like a good plan! Thank you for checking it out!

Hi there! Stopping over from the Think Tank !
This dish looks sooo yummy! Something my little family would love. Pinning! Thanks for sharing!
I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for coming by the blog and for pinning!
Emily
This is my very favorite casserole! Yum! Love it!
Yumm, what an awesome veggie casserole idea! Some of my family is not crazy about mayonnaise so I subbed 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/2 c. mayonnaise, it came out extra creamy! In my opinion the onion and celery made this dish exceptional! Never thought of adding celery and onion to mixed veggies! Clever and oh so tasty!! Family loved it (and no one noticed the mayo!) 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Monica, I am so so glad y’all enjoyed it so much. It is one of our family favorites! And I love the idea of subbing sour cream for some of the mayo!
Emily
My family has been making this casserole for 30+ years! It’s a must for our family holiday dinners. The only difference is that we add an 8 oz. package of cream cheese. It’s so delicious and creamy! 🙂
Ooh that sounds good!
Emily
hi Emily…regarding your vegetable casserole recipe, can you tell me what you
consider to be a LARGE bag of vegetables? can you give the ounces of the bag, please?
thanks so much!
Hi Sandy,
I would look for a bag that is 28-32 oz and as you’re mixing up the casserole just add gradually to make sure it doesn’t seem too dry. I hope you enjoy!
Emily
I’ve made this & it’s DELICIOUS!. Well worth the effort & comes together quickly! Thanks for the recipe & stay safe! 🙂
Thank you Kathy! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Can I make 2 and freeze one?
I think that would work, I might add the topping once you unfreeze it!
