Swiss Vegetable Bake for a Crowd

OceanLuvinGranny's Note:

I found this on the back of a can of Campbell's soup. Our family loves it and I use fresh cooked veggies in place of the frozen. Sometimes, I substitute cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup depending on my mood. I also added diced onion, and sliced mushrooms but typed the recipe as it appeared on the can. You can add whatever you like to it and I am sure it would still turn out great. We all have our favorites to add.
