Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) packages frozen baby lima beans
1 (10 ounce) packages frozen green beans
1 (10 ounce) packages frozen green peas
1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons mayonnaise ( NOT low-fat, I was told)
1/2 cup milk
1 green bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
paprika, sprinkled just for colour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F; have ready an 8-inch casserole dish sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook each frozen vegetable separately, according to the pkg directions; my potluck host (who had made this) told me she does this in the microwave, and that she slightly undercooks the veggies.
Drain vegetables well and set aside; thinly slice the green pepper and set that aside as well.
Blend together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise and milk to make a thin sauce.
Place the lima beans into the casserole dish, then 1/3 of the green pepper slices, then the green beans, then 1/3 of the green pepper slices, then the peas, then top with the remaining green pepper slices.
Pour the sauce over the veggies, then cover top of casserole with the parmesan, then dust lightly with paprika for colour.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
