Hoosier-Style Vegetable Casseroles, and They Are Perfect For Diabetics Too

I grew up in the Midwestern State of Indiana. My family, along with all our neighbors, always had big vegetable gardens. There was nothing better than going out to the garden, picking fresh vegetables and having them for dinner. In the winter, we still enjoyed the fruits of our labors as we enjoyed the vegetables we canned or froze during the summer. Maybe that is why I love vegetables and casseroles so much. If you are also one who enjoys vegetables and/or casseroles, here are a couple of Hoosier casserole recipes that you will no doubt enjoy. Give these recipes a try and give your family a treat!
