Easy to make old fashioned casserole. I have a recipe very similar to this one from 1957 using cracker crumb topping. The only change I made was to add about 1/2 cup frozen peas with the veggies, and I added one teaspoon of sugar with the tomatoes. A great dish to put in the oven and go outside to get some gardening done!
