cheesy vegetable bake in baking dish

The holidays are thisclose and you guys, I AM SO EXCITED. This excited! Anyway, you get the point. Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away, then it’s the Christmas season and my heart could just explode from all the holiday cheer.

Due to all this excitement, I have been eagerly baking/creating holiday recipes for all y’all for quite some time now. Mayhaps even before Halloween. And one such recipe is this crescent-topped cheesy vegetable bake — a new creation in my kitchen but surely, undoubtedly, one that will become a tradition among my family for our holiday dinners.

Just how can I be so sure, you ask? Welp, I’ll tell you. There are veggies in this dish, yes, but they are mixed with melted cheese and cream cheese. And then they’re cooked, spread in a pan and topped with a layer of buttery, flaky, soft (and did I mention buttery?) crescent rolls. Then everything is baked in the oven until warm. So yeah. I can be quite sure.

See the thing is, my family is really big on tradition when it comes to what we eat for Thanksgiving and Christmas — and yours truly is no black sheep in that department. I need my green bean casserole, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, mashed potatoes and dinner rolls, thankyouverymuch. And yet, there is always room for improvement, or a slight change, or even just an addition. I think this veggie bake fits that mold. And while my family might not trust me to throw a football in a straight line or carry heavy things down stairs, they do trust me when it comes to food.

If you have room for an extra dish in your holiday spread, I strongly suggest you make this veggie bake. And then I strongly suggest you do the Carlton dance after eating it and/or while decorating the Christmas tree after Thanksgiving. But, you know, that’s just a (strong) suggestion.
