Does anyone have an easy but interesting recipe that would use a bag of frozen mixed vegetables?

Question

I have a couple bags of mixed vegetables in my freezer, and I am getting really sick of just eating them plain. I made a soup with some of them, but need some more ideas on how to use them. I am NOT into cooking, so I need something with just a few common ingredients, nothing elaborate.

Answer 1

How about a pot pie?

Use cream of something soup (chicken, mushroom... whatever you like), the mixed veggies and some pre-made pie crust and bake away. Add some leftover chicken and you're set.

If you don't want to deal with the crust, you can put it all in a casserole dish (veggies, cream soup, plus mix in an 8oz bag of shredded cheddar) and top with crushed potato chips mixed with melted butter (combine 2 cups crushed chips and 1/4 stick butter melted)... Bake 350F for about 30-45 minutes.

Answer 2

This is my favorite soup recipe because the work involved is nearly zip zero. If you buy pre-packaged shredded cabbage (cole slaw package – approximate the weight of a small cabbage), there is no food prep involved at all – none! Just throw everything in the pot and turn on the heat.


Spartan Vegetable Soup

1 small to medium cabbage
2 15 oz cans stewed tomatoes
4 cans water (using tomato can)
2 lb frozen mixed vegetables
½ jar (about 6 cakes) beef bouillon (or chicken or vegetable bouillon)

Discard outer leaves of cabbage. Cut cabbage into quarters; cut out core and discard. Slice cabbage into small strips or shred in food processor. Combine all ingredients in kettle and cook together until done, about 30 minutes.

Despite the fact that the ingredients do not seem like a lot, this makes an enormous quantity of soup! For a standard-size soup kettle such as most households have, cut the recipe in half.

Answer 4

You could do some type of asian stir fry. Add some type of meat like chicken or beef into oil and mix in the veggies. Season it with soy sauce, salt, sugar, and some pepper. You can look up the exact amounts to add by going to allrecipes.com. Some of these recipes suggest adding cornstarch or some sort of juice, but I never do, and I'm Asian. It's yummy and filling when you eat it with rice.

Brown some ground beef.
After it browns mix in one jar of Spaghetti sauce..let simmer.
