Blue Ribbon Recipe
Creamy, cheesy, and full of so much flavor, this potato casserole is on a whole new level. Herbs and seasoning are the perfect complements to the potatoes and veggies. Italian seasoning is a bit unusual to add but packs a lot of flavor. The combination of vegetables, tater tots, soups, and cheese make this casserole a must-make.

How to Make Potato & Veggie Casserole
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees and coat a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cover the bottom of the casserole with tater tots and let soften slightly (I toss them in the microwave for 1 minute) then break them apart slightly with your fingers.
*You may use frozen shredded hashbrowns if you like* - Dice all veggies into uniform pieces and add to the top of the potatoes reserving 1 tbsp of the green part of the scallion onions to garnish.
- Drain green beans and spread evenly over veggies.
- Top the veggies with 1/2 small container of French fried onions and 1/2 of the shredded cheese.
*Use any kind you like but my favorite is pepper jack or a spicy red pepper variety gives er a kick! - In a smaller mixing bowl combine condensed soup and cream cheese. Microwave for 1-2 minutes just to get it warm so it easily stirs together. Slowly add the chicken stock mixing as you go. You want just enough stock to make it a thick gravy.
*You may not use all of the stock use your judgment. - Add the herbs and spices into the soup mixture.
- Pour evenly over the veggies & cheese.
- Cover with foil & bake at 300 degrees for 35 min.
- Remove casserole from oven and top with bacon bits, remaining shredded cheese & French fried onions.
Bake uncovered for 10 min just to melt the cheese & crisp up the onions. - Garnish with the green scallion onion and serve. This is amazing alongside any beef, chicken or pork. Delicious!
