An attractive and delicious vegetable dish! I am so glad I made it for a party of 26 guests. I use 1 1/2 cans of corn, plus 2 carrots diced, 1 medium head broccolli along with the sauted onion and green bell pepper. The change i made in the procedure was to make the cheese sauce on its own after sauteing the onion and bell pepper. Used only 1.5 cups cheese for my dish although I doubled the eggs, the milk (instead of half and half), and the butter. It cooked in the same amount of time. Used a 3.2L (3.4 qt) dish. I am sure I will make it again. Thanks for sharing!

This was an easy quick meal to put together. Nice and creamy. I haven't ever had this with breadcrumbs before. My casserole dish I think may be smaller because I used 1/2 C of them and it seemed a bit too much. Thinking I will use a larger bowl next time. Thanks for posting
