A great tasting dish that we both loved. Made it pretty much as written mixing 1 red potato in with half cauliflower and half broccoli. I will make this again. I will however mix vegetables with half of the cheese sauce before putting in in the baking dish and add a little more milk or cream. Topping was easy. Dropped a piece of whole wheat bread into the food processor and turned on for a few seconds. Instant bread crumbs and minimal expense. Added the grated cheese to the breadcrumbs (added a little cheddar also) to make it extra crunchy. Just happened to have some fresh dill and it made the dish pretty and made it taste WONDERFUL. If you have some in the garden, fridge, or freezer, suggest you use it here. Use what the recipe calls for also. Give it a try - it is in our permanent cookbook for repeat recipes. Hey, it is also easy and a snap to make with things often in the fridge. Jim in So. Calif.
