Enjoy a cozy, cheesy broccoli cauliflower casserole - made with creamy sauce from scratch, no condensed soup is needed! Perfect as a weeknight side dish that’s sure to satisfy!
In a large pot, boil the cauliflower for 2 minutes, then add the broccoli and cook for another 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well.
In a deep skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and stir until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk over medium heat until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
Stir in the cream cheese, paprika, salt, nutmeg, pepper, and garlic, then remove from heat. Mix in ¼ cup of cheddar cheese and ¼ cup of mozzarella. Toss this sauce with the cooked broccoli and cauliflower.
Spread the veggie mixture in an even layer in a 2-quart (or 9x9) baking dish.
Top with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella, ½ cup of cheddar, and 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs.
Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. Garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
Now sit and enjoy!
