Garden Vegetable Pie

November 22nd, 2006 by admin

Last year I had to have a foot operation.  My mom came to stay with me and my family because I was not allowed up on my foot, so she had to help take care of my son.  While she was staying with me, she made this Garden Vegetable Pie recipe and I have made it several times since.  It is delicious! 

GARDEN VEGETABLE PIE

• 2 cups chopped broccoli or sliced, fresh cauliflowerettes (Frozen may be used - thaw, drain, but do not cook)
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup green pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3/4 cups Bisquick mix
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Lightly grease pie plate.  If using fresh, raw broccoli or cauliflowerettes, cook until almost tender, drain. 

Mix broccoli/cauliflower, onion, green pepper, and cheese in pie plate.  Beat remaining ingredients until smooth.  Pour into pie plate.  Bake until golden brown and knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean.

Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.  Refrigerate leftovers.
