Vegetable Strata

• 2 cups green beans fresh or thawed
• 2 cups celery bias cut
• 2 cups carrots sliced
• 1 onion large, thinly sliced
• 4 inches tomatoes cut wedges
• 1 red bell pepper or green, sliced
• 8 ounces water chestnuts drained
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons tapioca
• 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
2. In a buttered 1-quart baking dish layer half of the vegetables in the order listed above.
3. Sprinkle all of the dry mix evenly over the top of the first layer.
4. Add a second layer of the vegetables, again in the order listed.
5. Dot the top with butter (1/4 c. = 1/2 stick of butter)
6. Bake covered for one hour; uncover and bake an additional 20-minutes.
7. Serves 4-6. To serve 6 or more, double the recipe (do not double the salt). With the doubled recipe, I turn up the oven to 375-degrees for the last 10-minutes of cooking. If you are taking this dish to a party, bake ahead and reheat just before serving.
