Greek Veggie Casserole
One of my daughter's students gave me this recipe. I just changed some of the ingredients a little by adding tomato sauce, instead of tomatoes, and adding dill.

You can use 4 medium tomatoes instead of sauce. You can also cut the amount of oil down to 3/4 cup. Serve with crusty bread and Feta cheese on the side.
Delicious but made a MASSIVE amount. I think their “Large” veggies must have been a lot smaller than my “large” because I couldn’t fit half the batch into my largest pan or casserole. Still, that means that now I have leftovers for days plus a batch in the freezer ready to go, not a bad thing. I used only one onion, fresh tomatoes instead of canned, and some chunks of cooked chicken as well. Baked at 350 (thanks, Neal) for about an hour. Will certainly make again, but with smaller veg!
I only had half of the ingredients (was not going to add potatoes to cut down the calories and glycemic load of the dish) and added more zuchini squash to compensate and used only one can of tomato sauce. The dish came out good, but a little oilly. Recipe doesn’t state it, but I baked at 350F. But I as surprised how well the dill, garlic and tomato sauce blended together. I’ll work on a way to reduce the amount of oil in the casserole dish.
