Description:
This is good for vegetarians, although the cheesy dish is rich!!!
But, try serving this to non-vegetable eaters (kids especially) and they won't complain!!! Total time to prepare is around 25 mins, while baking time is 15 minutes.....definitely, the result is a sure knock-out!
Ingredients:
8 small new potatoes
1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
8 baby carrots
4 stalks asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small can of canned or fresh corn kernels
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Salt
Black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
1. Bring a 2-quart saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes; cover and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and set aside. Repeat the cooking process with the cauliflower, carrots and asparagus, cooking just until crisp-tender.
2. Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole with butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Add the cheese, stirring until melted.
4. Arrange the vegetables in the buttered casserole. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with the parsley. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes.
Wow, looks yummy! Anything veggie is good, and I'll surely like it! :o)
ReplyDeleteYeah this is really good...and if you want to skip the baking part, you can do it...just cook in the milk-flour-butter-cheese mixture separately, then pour it over the cooked veggies...and thoroughly mix altogether.
