This is very good, but it doesn't cook in 15 to 20 minutes. When I first read the recipe, I thought there's no way that's possible since rutabagas are very hard vegetables when raw. I left off the cheese and bread crumb topping and baked the vegetable mixture for about 30 minutes, then added the topping and baked another 15. It came out perfect.
