Ingredients for Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole

• Frozen Vegetables – Broccoli Florets and Cauliflower Florets
• Cream of mushroom soup
• Sour cream
• Sharp cheddar cheese
• French fried onions

Steps to Make!

• Prep – Preheat the oven. Grease the baking dish and set aside.
• Mix – In a saucepan combine the soup, sour cream,  cheese and fried onions. Stir over medium heat until blended. Add broccoli and cauliflower and continue stirring until combined.
• Bake – Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Place in preheated oven and bake 25-30 minutes, uncovered. Top with remaining cheese and onions and place back in oven until cheese melts.

Expert Tips

• When it comes to baking a casserole, glass or pyrex is your best choice. Both glass and pyrex take longer to heat up, but conduct heat well and get super hot. An oven-safe dish is a must. Another must? Dishwasher safe for easy clean-up!
• If you would like to want to use fresh vegetables you can but you would need to steam or roast them first. This is the perfect time to take a shortcut and use frozen vegetables. This is a terrific pantry-staple side dish!
• I recommend sharp cheddar cheese. It gives a tanginess to the recipe that makes it a real winner! Though you can certainly substitute with Monterey Jack or Provolone Cheese. If you do use a milder cheese a handful of Parmesan will add the sharp saltiness of the cheddar.
• Grab a block of cheese and grate it yourself because it will melt better! Pre-Shredded cheese has additives that hinder it from melting.

See that cheesy goodness? I don’t know what you’ll love more: the cheesiness of this casserole or the crunchy onions when all of this bakes up to golden, bubbly deliciousness! Mmmm!!!!
