I got lucky with a new recipe this past week.
I took it out of an old Company's Coming cookbook that I was given at my wedding. It came from my Oma's collection of cookbooks. She passed away many years ago, but my Aunt passed along some of her cookbooks to me as a wedding gift.
It's a vegetarian dish - which usually means that Chad endures the meal but doesn't thoroughly enjoy it. But this time he took seconds! AND commented that it was good.
WIN!
Other than chopping up the veggies it was so simple to prepare and had such simple ingredients. It was quite pretty with all the different colors of veggies mixed together and I'm sure the crushed crackers and baked cheese on top helped as well.

Here's the recipe:
Rice Veggie Casserole
Company's Coming: Meatless Cooking

12 oz. canned kernel corn, drained
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
crumbled whole wheat crackers (or corn chips)
1/2 cup grated edam cheese
Combine first 4 ingredients in saucepan. Heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir once or twice during cooking. Remove from heat.
Add next 6 ingredients. Stir. Pour into 2 quart (2L) casserole dish. Cover. Bake in 350F oven for 15 minutes.

I just used crumbled stoned wheat thins that I had along with cheddar cheese since edam cheese isn't exactly something I have sitting around the house. It was delish! I highly recommend trying this dish if you're looking for a cheap, meatless meal to make. It's also nice and basic so you could play with the spices and veggies to create a whole other flavour profile and use up what ever you have sitting in your veggie drawer.
Bon appetit!
