Pioneer Woman Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole

You're going to love this Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole from Pioneer Woman!
The combination of fresh broccoli and cauliflower creates a balanced base that's both nutritious and delicious.
My initial tip:
Make sure to sauté the onions and garlic just until translucent to bring out their best flavors.
The creamy sauce, made from butter, flour, and broth, melds beautifully with the vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 head Broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 head Cauliflower cut into florets
  • 6 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Steam the broccoli and cauliflower florets for 3-4 minutes until they are bright and slightly tender.
  • Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Whisk to combine and cook for an additional 45 seconds.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, then add the milk and continue to whisk.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until it is fully melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine the steamed broccoli and cauliflower with the cheese sauce, then transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
  • Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
