Vegetable Casserole

6 cups of vegetables - any combination of carrots, cauliflower and broccoli
4 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 Tbsp flour
salt & pepper
1 cup milk
3/4 brick of cream cheese
2/3 cup of bread crumbs
2 Tbsp parmesean cheese

Set oven to 350F
Butter 2L casserole dish

Slightly cook vegetables until they are starting to soften.  I used frozen vegetables ( Normandy mixture from Costco - orange and yellow carrots, cauliflower and broccoli) and I steamed them for a couple of minutes.  Place in the casserole dish.

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 Tbsp butter.  Saute onion until soften (5 mins).  Add 1 Tbsp butter and keep stirring.  Gradually pour in milk and keep stirring until thick and bubbly (3 mins).  Add cream cheese (cut into chunks) and stir until smooth.  Pour over vegetables and mix until well coated.  Bake for 20 mins.

Melt remaining butter ( or add more) and mix in bread crumbs and parmesean.  Sprinkle over the top of the vegetables.  Bake for 15 minutes until crisp and golden.

When I made this for a party, I prepared the dish before hand except I didn't bake for 15 minutes after adding the bread crumbs.  When I was ready to seerve, I put the dish in at 350F and cooked for 25 mins - turned out great!
