Recipe Note

This recipe was created in response to a few picky veggie eaters in my household who love corn casserole, but aren't fond of some garden favorites. This gets gobbled up every time! No one ever guesses at the amount of veggies inside this firm but creamy yumminess! This great potluck pleaser freezes well. I used freshly chopped squash and zucchini as well as frozen chopped veggies (originally from my garden).
