Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower medium sized, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 head broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 ½ cup milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 cup Ritz crackers or similar, crushed
- ¼ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a medium casserole dish with cooking spray (mine was 2qt).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in the cauliflower and broccoli florets. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender. Drain, place back in the pot, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add in the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour, salt, and mustard and continue to cook for 30 more seconds.
- Slowly whisk in the milk. Once combined, add in the cream cheese, cheddar, and parmesan and continue to stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Pour the cheese sauce over top of the broccoli and cauliflower and stir until fully combined and all of the vegetables are coated. Put the cheesy broccoli + cauliflower into the prepared dish.
- Make the topping by mixing together the crushed crackers, remaining cheddar cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle it evenly over the top of the veggies.
- Bake the casserole in the oven for 25 minutes until the cracker topping is a deep golden brown color and the dish is bubbling all around the edges. ENJOY!
