After I found this recipe 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. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
4-1/2 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/4 cups 1% milk |
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
5 cups frozen broccoli florets, thawed |
2-1/4 cups frozen cauliflowerets, thawed |
1 cup cubed fully cooked lean ham |
1 cup soft bread crumbs |
butter-flavored cooking spray |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Add cheeses; stir until melted.
2. Place vegetables in a 2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with ham. Pour sauce over ham. Place bread crumbs in a small bowl; spray with butter-flavored spray. Sprinkle around the edge of casserole.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and bubbly. Yield: 5 servings.
