Keep your pantry stocked with canned mixed vegetables so you'll have a flavorful ingredient on hand anytime you're making homemade soups or casseroles. Because of their versatility and long shelf life, canned veggies are ideal for many different dishes.

For example, combine canned mixed veggies from Signature SELECT®, a stick of melted butter, a cup of pre-cooked brown rice and chopped garlic in a frying pan to create a fragrant and delicious fried rice. Throw in diced scallions and pork for more flavor.

And don't forget that canned mixed vegetables from Del Monte are a critical ingredient in the perennial favorite, Shepard's Pie. Mix canned veggies with instant mashed potatoes, sliced mushrooms and ground beef and bake to create this classic hearty casserole the whole family will love.

Canned mixed veggies are also a great addition if you're looking to cook up a comforting soup on a winter's day. Combine them in a pot with diced celery, chopped onion, thyme and vegetable broth for a hearty and flavorful soup you can serve with a fresh baguette.
