Terrible.....I followed the recipe.....but put it in the oven the following day for a pot luck dinner......Several commented that they didn't care for the taste.....Perhaps using cheddar cheese instead of cream cheese would make it taste better, which I might try next time......but I definitely would not make the same dish again. Yuck !

I never thought I would be able to post a 5-star review on a vegetable dish! The whole family loved this! So easy with the simple white sauce and frozen veggies. Even the kids ate ALL their veggies! I used a broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and squash blend and this sauce was perfect. Thanks Shae for a definate keeper.
