Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
• ½ cup dry bread crumbs
• 1¾ cups milk
• 1 can (10 ¾ ounces) cream of cheese soup
• 6 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (about 1½ cups), divided
• ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2 packages (16 ounces each) frozen cauliflower-broccoli mixture

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium skillet over medium high heat melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the bread crumbs and stir to combine. Remove from heat and reserve.
2. In a 13”-by-9” casserole pan gently whisk milk, soup, 1 cup of the cheese, and ground pepper to combine.
3. Add the cauliflower-broccoli mixture to the casserole and mix gently to combine.
4. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese over the vegetables. Sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until vegetables are heated through and liquid around the edges is bubbling.
