  1. This is such an excellent recipe! Rich, satisfying, flavorful, ingredient-friendly, easily made-ahead for last-minute baking or rewarming & also company-worthy. It was in fact the hit of a recent family dinner party where I used carrots, cauliflower & broccoli as the veggies with a blend of cheese (Gouda & Cheddar). My only issue w/the recipe was that a 1 qt dish (even deep) didn't come close to holding 5 cups veggies, 1.5 cups cheese, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup chicken broth & 1/2 cup breadcrumbs ... with 11 tbsp of other ingredients smaller amt ingredients. In fact, it seemed to me that the recipe would easily serve 8, which would also improve the nutritional facts. We loved this! Thx for posting this sure-to-be-recpeated recipe. :-)
     
  2. Great versitle recipe, used peas instead of cauliflower for DH>< We enjoyed it.
     
  3. This was great!! The whole family loved it! I made it with broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and added some stuff (parmesan cheese, chopped almonds, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper) to the breading on top (I used part of the breading mixture that I made for Oven Fried Almond Chicken - recipe#93142). I also used crushed unsalted crackers instead of breadcrumbs. It was a hit - will definitely be making this again.
     
  4. This was SO good! We are vegetarian and I skipped the chicken broth. But the sauce so good and blended very well with the vegetables. My husband and I both loved it and I will definitely be cooking this more often!
     
  5. I stayed with the recipe and everything went just perfect. My family loved it and they want it again soon. Thanx, Minx!

  2. This was EXCELLENT! What a great way to disguise veggies. I used Brocoli instead of Cauliflower and mild cheddar because it was all I had and it wasn't overly rich at all. The Cheese sauce went together beautifully and turned out extremely creamy. It took a little bit to make but, was well worth it! I'm so glad I gave this a try, everyone loved it. Thanks for posting this minxkat.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am from Western Canada and have been cooking since I can remember. When I was 17 I moved to Florida for awhile to take care of an ailing Grandparent. It was there I feel I really 'learned' to cook, as I was his primary caregiver for a year. I have always loved trying new recipes, and I 'read' cookbooks like others read novels.
