This is a sponsored post on behalf of the Country Crock Casserole Club.


This Country Crock Casserole Club kit highlights the Thanksgiving Family Fave Veggie Casserole! Even though Thanksgiving has come and gone, this is a wonderful casserole to have with your favorite entree all year long. 

This Thanksgiving Family Fave Veggie Casserole is the perfect casserole to please the whole family and takes minimal time to create. You can even change up the veggie to your family's liking.

Feel free to check out Countrycrock.com/recipes, Country Crock Facebook page and @CountryCrock on Twitter for more great recipe ideas and ideas!

My package finally arrived after a slight delay/change of address but I was happy it landed safely in my hands. This was a great kit! I received a gift card to purchase ingredients, a Country Crock VIP Coupon, Recipe card and a gorgeous Wüsthof® Classic Ikon 6" Chef's Knife!


I made baked potatoes and these Spicy Honey Brushed Chicken Thighs to go with this delicious veggie casserole. I kept the recipe pretty much to the original since we all like those veggies and I only added some simple seasonings. For my gluten free version, I used crushed plain potato chips in place of the panko.


I had my little ones carefully shred the cheese, they thought that was fun. I steamed my veggies for about 8 minutes so they could finish cooking while in the oven and not become too soft.
My family loved this casserole.

my gluten free version

Thanksgiving Family Fave Veggie Casserole

slightly adapted from Country Crock

1/2 cup Country Crock® Spread, divided
2 cups chopped onions
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs (omit if eating gluten free)
8 cups slightly steamed mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower florets, red pepper and green beans)
1 TBL garlic, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4 tsp paprika
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 375°.
Melt 1/4 cup Country Crock® Spread over medium-high heat in large nonstick skillet and cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes; remove to bowl.

Melt remaining 1/4 cup Spread in same skillet and add vegetables, garlic, salt and pepper and paprika; toss to coat. Pour 1/2 into shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the cheese and 1/2 of the crumb mixture. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake until heated through and cheese is melted, about 25 minutes.

  8. I am such a Panko fan, I love that stuff, so versatile. I think I would make the same thing but with parmesan instead of the cheddar, and maybe some sour cream too.
