Garden Veggies Casserole

This is easy to cut down, and i use just the broccoli, carrots and celery sometimes. It's actually a pretty good dish, but I do not use low sodium or low fat cheese in it...however, you can use it.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (about 4 oz.)
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup cauliflower flowerettes
• 1 cup chopped broccoli
• 1/2 cup sliced celery
• 1/2 cup sliced carrots
• 1/2 cup sliced zucchini
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tsp dried basil
• 2 cups pasta sauce

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. combine rice and half of the cheddare cheese. Mix well. Place in bottom of a 10 x 6 x 2-inch baking dish.
3. Meanwhile, steam the vegetables 5-7 minutes until tender crisp. Spoon vegetables over rice-cheese misture.
4. Combine pasta sauce, garlic, and basil. Pour over vegetables. Top with remaining cheese.
5. Bake at 350 degree for 30 minutes.
