For many years I used a casserole that I got from a Betty Crocker radio show. It was called Alice Clark's vegetable casserole or something similar. My recipe book is lost and I really miss this recipe. Can you help me?

After no luck with my own search I contacted the consumer department at General Mills (Betty Crocker's home) and they too came up empty handed. They suggested these two recipes.

Company Three Cheese Bake

This recipe was voted the best supporting side dish of 2008.

1 can (2.8oz) French fried onions

2 bags ( 24oz each) frozen broccoli & three cheese sauce

1 pkg ( 3oz.) cream cheese, cut into cubes

1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, if desired

1/2 tsp. red pepper sauce

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Reserve 1 cup French-fried onions for topping.

2. In a 5-qt Dutch oven, mix remaining onions, the broccoli, cream cheese, bell pepper and red pepper sauce. Cover; cook over medium-low heat about 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until sauce ships are melted. Transfer to ungreased 2-3 qt. casserole.

3. Bake uncovered 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle reserved onions around outer edge of casserole. Bake 5 minutes longer.

Swiss Vegetable Casserole

1 bag (1 lb) frozen broccoli, carrots and cauliflower

2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

6 medium green onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1/2 cup)

2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1 1/2 cup milk

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4oz)

1/4 cup crushed round buttery crackers

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 1 to 1 1/2 qt- casserole with shortening or cooking spray. Cook frozen vegetables as directed on bag; drain.

2. Meanwhile, in a 2-qt saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, cook 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is bubbly and thickened. Remove from heat.

3. Add 3/4 cup of the cheese, stir until melted. Stir in cooked vegetables. Spoon mixture into casserole. Sprinkle with crushed crackers and remaining cheese.

4. Bake 25-30 minutes or until topping is brown and casserole is bubbly.

Variation: toss in cooked ham, chicken or tuna for a delicious main-dish casserole.

DO Ahead: Prepare the casserole up to 24 hours and refrigerate covered. Add 10 minutes to the bake time since the casserole will be cold when placed in the oven.
