1 medium onion
frozen mixed vegetables
scallops, as many as you like
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons margarine
1 1/2 cups milk

Cook rice and place in the bottom of a casserole dish. Lightly fry mushroom, green pepper and onion. Place over rice. Then place a layer of frozen mixed vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place scallops over vegetables. In small saucepan, melt margarine then add flour. (It will get very thick and pasty.) Add half of milk and stir until thick. Remove from heat. Add remaining milk and cheese. Mix well. (May have to heat some more to get the cheese to melt.) Place sauce over casserole. Melt a little margarine and mix with bread crumbs, then sprinkle on casserole. Bake at 350 degrees until hot.
