Creamy Vegetable Bake

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"This vegetable casserole contains vegetables not usually seen on late-autumn tables, but with its stuffing topping I think it would be right at home on your Thanksgiving table and would be a welcome change. The vegetables cook in a cream cheese mixture and they are topped with crunchy stuffing mix. How good can they get! Recipe is from the Stove-Top people."
