Prep Time:  20 minutes

Baking Time:  30-40 minutes

Ingredient List:

2 (10-ounce) packages frozen vegetables (1 cauliflower and 1 mixed vegetable or 1 large bag of assorted vegetables.)
2 Tablespoons flour
2 Tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
salt
pepper
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

--------------------------------
Buttered Bread Crumbs:

1 cup fine ground bread crumbs
1/2 cup of butter

Kitchen Equipment Needed

9" x 13" baking pan
medium sauce pan

Instructions:

Step 1:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2:  Thaw and cook the frozen vegetables and drain them in a colander. Place in a 9" x 13" glass baking dish.

Step 3:  In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons butter until it makes a smooth paste.  Stirring constantly, slowly add 1 cup milk and bring to enough of a boil to make a medium thick white sauce. Flavor with salt and pepper.

Step 4:  Remove the white sauce from the stove and stir in the 4 ounces of cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and smooth with no lumps.

Step 5: Pour this mixture over the vegetables and stir together.

Step 6: Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of the vegetables.

Step 7: In the microwave or in a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter and stir in the bread crumbs. Sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs over the top of the vegetable casserole.

Step 8:  Bake at 350 degrees until hot and bubbly, about 30-40 minutes.
