It also serves as a go-to leftover recipe to repurpose some of those yummy dishes from the big day. Thanksgiving feast or yummy leftover casserole, whichever you create, remember to put your own spin on it!” (Country Crock Press release)

My family loves Country Crock, I have been excited to share these last few months all of the fun recipes and casseroles that you can make using Country Crock and a few other items! I received a great box from them which included Panko Bread Crumbs, a knife and a yummy Veggie Casserole Recipe! What I love about Country Crock is that it can be used in anything! My motto is Butter makes everything…better of course! So the idea that Country Crock had was for a yummy Veggie Casserole which I of course put my own spin to it. My kids are not huge veggie eaters, so I didn’t want to shock them with new veggies. So I decided to just use a basic veggie like carrots and go from there.

Recipe from Country Crock:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Country Crock® Spread, divided
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
• 8 cups cooked mixed vegetables (broccoli and cauliflower florets, red pepper and/or green beans)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded 2 % cheddar cheese, divided

Directions:

1. 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.
2. Melt remaining 1/4 cup Spread in same skillet and add vegetables; 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.
3. Bake until heated through and cheese is melted, about 25 minutes.

• TIP: Thawed frozen vegetables or canned vegetables can be used instead of fresh.

So my Recipe was a bit different. I decided to cook less of it since there are only 4 of us eating it so I just halved everything!
