Broccoli and Cauliflower Bake

I definitely loved my broccoli in March!  Not that I won't love it every month ;)...  But it was March's Q-Pon item, so I was thrilled to use it in a lot of my recipes.  One recipe I tried out was the recipes that comes on the #10 can of THRIVE Broccoli:  Broccoli and Cauliflower Bake.  What's not to love about an easy, cheesy vegetable dish!?!

As you can see, we kind of dug in before I remembered to take my picture ;).

As usual, one of the things I love most about my THRIVE Life foods is that I don't have to clean and chop vegetables!  All of the veggies for this dish were a scoop, dumb, rehydrate and go deal!  (That's my absolute favorite when it comes to onions, by the way...  I can't even tell you the last time I purchased a fresh onion!)

I also love that these veggies stay usable in the can for a long time.  Usually around a year, once the can is opened (much, much longer when the can is sealed -- 25 years!).  The other day, I threw away a whole crown of fresh broccoli, because we hadn't gotten to it yet and it had molded all over.  It made me sad, and sort of annoyed.  What a waste of money!  I don't have that problem with my THRIVE Broccoli! 

So here is the recipe for the Broccoli and Cauliflower Bake as I made it (which means I just left out the cream and added 2 extra tablespoons of milk, because I don't usually have cream on hand):

BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER BAKE
2 cups THRIVE Broccoli
1 cup THRIVE Cauliflower
1 tablespoon THRIVE Chopped Onions
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour*
1 cup + 2 tablespoons milk*
1 teaspoon salt*
1/2 teaspoon THRIVE Chef's Choice Seasoning (which I forgot to picture, but used!)
1 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese*

Reconstitute vegetables in a bowl by barely covering with water.  Drain excess water.  Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, and cook for 1 minute.  Whisk in milk and slowly bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.  Mix in seasoning and half of cheese.  Mix in vegetables.  Place mixture in greased 8x8 baking pan.  Top with remaining cheese and bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
