Vegetable Melange

Hi. I subscribe to an email service that sends different recipes. Not all of them are appealing but this one looked good. I finally tried it out on Friday when Erika came by and we both really liked it. Elaine

INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch broccoli
1 head cauliflower
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
3 to 5 tomatoes or 1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, drained
1 (10-3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon each garlic salt and basil or 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Seasoned bread crumbs, to taste

TO PREPARE:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Steam 15 to 20 minutes. Sauté mushrooms in butter. Cut tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Combine all vegetables and soup. Cube 3 ounces cheese and stir into vegetable mixture. Add seasoning, mixing well. Spoon into a 3-quart casserole. Top with grated remaining cheese and bread crumbs. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
