Ingredients

• 12 pieces frozen fish sticks
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.

Step 4

Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the soup mixture and stir to coat them evenly.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheddar cheese over the vegetable mixture.

Step 7

Arrange the frozen fish sticks in a single layer on top of the cheese.

Step 8

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until they are evenly coated and lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the fish sticks, followed by the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese.

Step 10

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the fish sticks are golden and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
