Creamy Vegetarian Casserole

     I don't know about you, but I love a good casserole, ...especially if there are left overs for dinner the next night!  And, you can really pack a lot of vegetables in one dish and no one even notices...namely kids.  I had the pleasure of creating one such recipe, and I'm excited to share my bounty with you.  Each of the 8 generous servings are only 441 calories, 21.6g carbs, 5.9g fiber, 15.7g net carbs, 27g protein and 27g fat  Serve this with a side salad or green beans, and you will have a perfectly balanced lunch or dinner!  This one is filled with flavors galore'!  :)
