Please note that I haven't made this, and I only tasted it (I really dislike lima beans, you see, and peas aren't a favourite either). But I asked for the recipe at the potluck I was at, since everyone else seemed to be really going for this. I admit, the taste I had was good-but of course I had no lima beans in my wee helping! I've been meaning to post it for a bit, and just realized it's perfect for St Paddy's Day, so I'd better get it into the database now. I made the name up, by the way; I was told it was called Green Vegetable Casserole . Boring. Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) package frozen baby lima beans |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green beans |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (not low-fat, i was told) |
1/2 cup milk |
1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
paprika, sprinkled just for colour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F; have ready an 8-inch casserole dish sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cook each frozen vegetable separately, according to the pkg directions; my potluck host (who had made this) told me she does this in the microwave, and that she slightly undercooks the veggies.
3. Drain vegetables well and set aside; thinly slice the green pepper and set that aside as well.
4. Blend together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise and milk to make a thin sauce.
5. Place the lima beans into the casserole dish, then 1/3 of the green pepper slices, then the green beans, then 1/3 of the green pepper slices, then the peas, then top with the remaining green pepper slices.
6. Pour the sauce over the veggies, then cover top of casserole with the parmesan, then dust lightly with paprika for colour.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
