How Green Is My Casserole
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen baby lima beans
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green beans
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (NOT low-fat, I was told)
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
- paprika, sprinkled just for colour
directions
- Preheat oven to 350F; have ready an 8-inch casserole dish sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook each frozen vegetable separately, according to the pkg directions; my potluck host (who had made this) told me she does this in the microwave, and that she slightly undercooks the veggies.
- Drain vegetables well and set aside; thinly slice the green pepper and set that aside as well.
- Blend together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise and milk to make a thin sauce.
- Place the lima beans into the casserole dish, then 1/3 of the green pepper slices, then the green beans, then 1/3 of the green pepper slices, then the peas, then top with the remaining green pepper slices.
- Pour the sauce over the veggies, then cover top of casserole with the parmesan, then dust lightly with paprika for colour.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.

This is a delicious casserole! It will definitely be one I take to church functions, etc. The only change I made was that I used a red pepper instead of a green pepper (I had the red pepper). The red with all the other green vegetables made a beautiful contrast and I don't think it took away from the name of the dish. If you make this, be sure you blend the cream cheese, mayo and milk until there are no lumps. I cooked mine in a 7 x 11 inch casserole dish and had to cook it about 30-35 minutes. Delicious!
