"I looked all over for a creamy casserole that didn't use canned soup or any other processed foods, but didn't find what I really wanted. So I came up with this one, and my husband is still raving about it. So glad he liked it since it makes enough for a family! You could use any combination of vegetables, and any type of rice. I just used the ones we like best."
