Cheesy Vegetable Casserole

Ingredients

  • 8 Tablespoons butter
  • 8 Tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
  • 1 pint homemade cream of mushroom soup
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Onion powder, to taste
  • Pinch of sugar/sucanat
  • 4 cups chopped veggies, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 – 1 cup bread crumbs, seasoned to taste

Directions

Start by shredding up some cheese in your food processor, or you can use a box grater. Set aside.

Next make a white sauce/roux. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the arrowroot powder. Whisk continuously for about a minute. Add the milk, about a cup at a time until it thickens, then add another cup until you’ve added all the milk.

Once all of the milk has been added, add the cheese. Then stir in your cream of mushroom soup. Next, add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar. Taste it and adjust as you see fit. You really want to make sure you get the sauce right – it is what makes the dish. Keep stirring as it continues to thicken.

Meanwhile get your vegetables ready. You can use fresh or frozen. If you are using fresh, you’ll want to blanch the veggies for a few minutes. I used frozen vegetables, some broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots.

Prepare an 8 1/2 x 11 inch baking dish by buttering the sides and bottom. Next, place your vegetables in the bottom and pour cheese sauce over the top.

Top with breadcrumbs.

Bake 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
