It's easy to think of vegetables as a side dish rather than the main course, but the Monterey Veggie Bake will change your mind about that! Hearty mushrooms, savory onions, and bright red peppers are mixed with aromatic garlic and smoky-sweet brown sugar to bring out the best in the garden flavors. Layered with melty sharp cheese and topped with crunchy, herby breadcrumbs, the Monterey Veggie Bake is vegetarian cooking like you've never tasted before! It's a wonderful way to become excited about eating your veggies.
