I got this recipe from a lady at one of our church dinners many years ago. It is very easy to prepare and great for when you want something a little different in the way of vegetables.
Mix the canned vegetables, water chestnuts and chopped green chilies in a large bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, stir the soup, Cheez-Whiz ( that has been heated in the microwave in the jar), sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese and half of the butter.
Blend well.
Add onion powder, celery salt, salt and pepper to your taste.
Combine the vegetables and soup mixture.
Pour into a large greased casserole dish.
In a small bowl, combine crumbled Ritz crackers and remaining melted butter.
Sprinkle on top of the casserole, followed by the remaining cheese.
