Roadsmith, I'd love to try that recipe. Had Stauffers veg lasagna & thought it was pretty good & I know your's will be much better.

I am on a low salt diet so don't add salt nor the olives as they are salty. There is plenty of salt in the cheeses. Its a great dish and very filling with a side salad. thanks again, Adele

I'm thrilled that you all like that recipe so much, and we need to give credit to my sister-in-law, Margy Smith, from whom it came. She lived with us for a year, back in the 80s, and made it for us.

Here's a very good vegetable casserole.
DO NOT leave out the tarragon & sage leaves, specially the tarragon.
Very quick & easy to put together & very satisfying because of the potatoes & rice.
Herbed Vegetable Casserole
4 red potatoes unpeeled & cut in 1/4" slices
1 tsp dried sage leaves
1 tsp tarragon
3 green peppers, diced
1 onion sliced
3/4 cup of MINUTE RICE
3 zucchini unpeeled & sliced
1 cup (4oz) shredded swiss cheese (swiss is much better than cheddar in this recipe)
3 tomatoes thickley sliced (tomatoes to be arranged on top)
(I use a can of tomatoes instead)(not large can, regular size)If you use the can of tomatoes don't use the juice, drain first.
I also add a little sugar to the tomatoes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 10 cup deep baking dish. Arrange half of the potatoes & sprinkle with half of the sage & tarragon. Then layer with half of the peppers, onions, minute rice & zucchini.
Sprinkle with the rest of the sage & tarragon & repeat layers. Arrange tomatoes on top, cover with foil & bake at 350 for 1&1/2 to 1&3/4 hours or until potatoes are tender.
Remove foil & sprinkle with SWISS cheese & bake for about 10 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
You can also do this in the microwave, it's much faster & just as good. I microwave it for about 25 minutes & then add the cheese for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Microwave ovens vary so keep checking the potatos to see if their done.
