Cheesy Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. Bake: 25 min. YIELD: 5 servings.
After I found this broccoli cauliflower casserole in an old church cookbook, I adjusted it to make it lower in calories and fat. The creamy cheese sauce makes it a tasty way to get children to eat their vegetables. —Nancy Whitford, Edwards, New York
