There are few side dishes more classic than the Swiss Veggie Medley. Many cooks say they originally got the recipe from a can of fried onions back in the 80s and have been making it ever since. That’s easy to imagine with its slightly retro use of condensed cream of mushroom soup and frozen vegetables, but there’s no denying that it is delicious!
We have a slightly different spin on that classic casserole for you today. You’ll find most of the standard ingredients, except with a layer of crushed Ritz crackers on top. As much as we love fried onions, they can also dominate the flavor of a dish. Subbing in crackers still gives it that salty, crunchy touch but allows the other ingredients room to shine. You’ll have to let us know which version you like better!
This side dish is an incredibly versatile choice for many a meal. Serve it alongside anything from pasta to roasted chicken to pizza, and it doesn’t feel out of place. Classic recipes are often like that. Whether you’re taking a walk down memory lane with this recipe or giving it a try for the first time, it’s sure to please the taste buds.
