Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegetable Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 5 minutes until tender and fragrant.
  3. Incorporate broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and carrot slices into the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Mix together cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth in a separate bowl.
  5. Pour the creamy sauce over the sautéed vegetables, stir well, and transfer to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the vegetable mixture.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and turning golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
