There's no better way to get your fill of veggies than to bake up this Southern-Style Vegetable Casserole. This delicious, vegetarian casserole comes from Chef Steve Petusevsky's cookbook, "Sizzle & Smoke," and is full of Southern flavor without all the extra fat!

What You'll Need:
• Vegetable oil (for spraying pan)
• 1 small onion, sliced thin
• 1 green pepper, sliced thin
• 1 red pepper, sliced thin
• 2 medium zucchini, sliced thin lengthwise
• 2 medium yellow squash, sliced thin lengthwise
• 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 (8-ounce) container, fat-free sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can lower-fat cream of mushroom or celery soup
• 1 cup crushed saltines or Ritz crackers
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste

What To Do:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with vegetable oil and layer the vegetables over one another.

3. In a large bowl combine the cheese, sour cream, and soup. Mix well and spoon over the vegetables. Shake the casserole dish to distribute the sauce well.

4. In another small bowl, combine the crackers, paprika, salt, and pepper.

5. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the casserole and bake uncovered for 30 minutes until golden brown and crusty.

Notes:
Chef's Note: This is a much lighter version of a classic Deep South recipe served at many little barbeque joints.
