Brussel Sprouts Cauliflower and Broccoli Casserole It Is Delicious!

What Southerner in their right mind doesn't like a casserole?  I'll tell you at any given time friends in the neighborhood, from church, from across town or across nearby towns can whip one up at a moment's notice. 

Today I found myself with a fridge full of fresh vegetables. Well still fresh but in a few days will have to be thrown out to the chickens if not used.  We had tons of them as many as we could hold on the vegetable tray this past weekend. 

What was I to do, what was I to do? Oh, I know make a casserole!  If this doesn't get them eating vegetables then I don't know what will.  This is a meal all by itself very filling and so delicious!

  * Check to see if the liquid is cooking and thickening by inserting a butter knife down the edge and looking.*

When most of the liquid has cooked down then do the following

Prepare the soup

In Microwave safe dish put cream of chicken soup and half the can of water. Whisk or stir until smooth.

Heat through and add a little more water if needed to make it thick but pourable.

Put back into oven and cook until soup is hot and bubbling throughout time may vary, then

Add fried onions and cook 5 to 8 minutes

*Notes*

Measurements for vegetables were taken after steaming  You can use all of each or 2 cups each of cauliflower broccoli and brussel sprouts. 
I used a combination of cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan

I used IGA KJ'S store brand of Turkey Stuffing

I used self rising flour but you can use plain all purpose if you wish

Enjoy!
