Cheesy Vegetable Rice Casserole image

My husband was craving something "cheesy and vegetable-y" so we threw some stuff in a pan and ended up with this. It turned out to be the most cheesy, creamy casserole I've ever had and it was fantastic. This is definitely a staple in our home now. We've done a version with just vegetables and a version with chicken.
