The Best Veg All Casserole Recipe

Vegetable casserole (aka “veg all casserole”) is your usual type of casserole, but that doesn’t mean it’s average. Not at all.

Full of veggies and topped with a buttery crumbled crackers topping, it’s a family favorite even the picky eaters love.

And it gets the kids eating more vegetables. Which is something everyone wants!

This is a great way to use a can of Veg All but I prefer to use frozen mixed vegetables. Just as delicious as a meaty casserole, you can serve it as a main course for Meatless Mondays or keep it as a side dish for any day of the week.

Not only that it is budget friendly and by using pantry staples you can have it ready at a moments notice!

Some of my other favorite casseroles with lots of veggies are my chicken pot pie bubble up and my black eyed pea casserole.

Ingredients Needed

• Mixed vegetables – I use the frozen ones but you can use fresh vegetables too.
• Diced potatoes – Canned or frozen are best. Fresh will require extra cooking time.
• Cream of celery soup – Homemade or store bought is perfect.
• Onion – Sweet onion or white onion.
• Mayonnaise – Duke’s is my favorite brand. Or substitute sour cream. 
• Mozzarella cheese – It’s super creamy or substitute sharp cheddar cheese.
• All purpose seasoning – I use a Sazon herb seasoning but you can also use Italian seasoning.
• Ritz crackers – Or your favorite buttery crackers. Or substitute Corn Flakes.
• Butter – Unsalted is best.

How long does it last?

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven until heated through.

Can you freeze it??

You can freeze a veg all casserole. But you may get some excess water depending on what type of veggies you are using.

Carrots, broccoli, and green beans tend to freeze well, but onions, potatoes, and squash tend to have a lot more moisture. Be sure to steam or cook them prior to adding them to the recipe to remove some of the water.

When you freeze it, then make sure to wrap it tightly or use an airtight container. Reheat in the oven for best results, but the microwave is best if you want to eat it sooner that later. 

If you are freezing it, you may want to leave the cracker topping off until you are ready to bake.

What vegetables does Veg All contain?

Classic Veg-All contains carrots, potatoes, celery, green beans, lima beans, peas, and corn. If you plan on using a can of mixed vegetables or frozen vegetables, check to see if it contains potatoes.

I use frozen mixed vegetables for convenience, but any frozen veggies work just as well. The popular mix is budget friendly but if you like other veggies, like broccoli, cauliflower, feel free to add those in.

All Vegetable Casserole Recipes

Casseroles aren’t just a main dish. A lot of delicious casseroles are made as side dishes and most of them are ones that are just vegetables and no meat.

Some of my favorites are Brenda Gantt’s cabbage casserole, this Trisha Yearwood squash casserole, this sweet onion casserole with Texas onions, and this baked butternut squash kale casserole.

Tips for the Best Casserole

• If you thaw your frozen veggies first, then make sure to drain any excess water.
• Lightly spray your casserole dish with cooking oil to make clean up easier afterwards.
• Use Cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, or even cream of onion soup if you like.
• Add in some chopped water chestnuts for added crunch.
• When you remove the casserole from the oven, let it rest about 5-8 minutes before serving.
• When it comes to the cheese topping, then use your favorite cheese!
