“Swiss cheese melts into a delicious creamy sauce that makes a blend of broccoli, carrots and cauliflower completely irresistible.”

1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the frozen vegetables in an ungreased, 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish. Cook according to the package directions for microwave preparation.
2
Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, garlic salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until bubbly and smooth, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
3
Stir the milk into the pot. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup Swiss cheese until melted. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the baking dish. Stir gently to mix.
4
Top with the remaining cheese. Bake until bubbly around the edges and cheese is lightly golden, 25–30 minutes. Serve.

This vegetable casserole is the ideal side dish for a big ham steak. Just add whole-wheat bread to complete the meal.

• For a milder, creamier taste,shredded mozzarella can besubstituted for the Swiss cheese.
