Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 head of broccoli
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into florets. Add the florets to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. In a greased baking dish, layer the cooked cauliflower and broccoli. Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables and stir gently to coat. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs over the top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
7. Serve hot and enjoy!
