These saucy vegetables are a colorful and satisfying side dish we enjoy often. Our daughter, an 11-year-old 4-H member, earned the Reserve Grand Champion ribbon at our local county fair with this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 medium carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 cups frozen chopped broccoli
  • 2-1/4 cups frozen cauliflowerets
  • 2 jars (4-1/2 ounces each) whole mushrooms, drained
