Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing a medium-sized baking dish.
  2. Steam or blanch the mixed winter vegetables for about 3 to 4 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared vegetables with the cream of mushroom soup and your choice of milk, cheese, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the vegetable mixture into the greased baking dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
  5. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with melted butter until well coated. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the vegetable filling.
  6. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
