One of my daughters is a Vegetarian so she is always on the look out for vegetarian recipes.  Her sister found this recipe and decided to try it out on the family.  The entire family loved the casserole and we are not vegetarians.  They added more cheese, corn and can tomatoes than what is called for in the recipe.  Adjust to your taste. Ingredients 1 can (14-1/2 ounces)
