Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Vegetable Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.

  4. Fold in the frozen broccoli and frozen mixed vegetables, heating for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the beaten eggs and cooked rice until fully mixed.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil, sprinkle crushed Ritz crackers mixed with melted butter on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until golden.
  8. Let sit for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.
