• Add 1/2 of the vegetable mixture to the chicken broth. Stir in sour cream and simmer, stirring often, until sauce is the consistency of a thin gravy, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top. Continue baking until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
