I am a super big broccoli and cauliflower fan. My favorite soup to make is our CopyCat Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup. I will quite often purchase the store bought veggie steamer bags for a quick side dish with our meals.

If we are having a nice holiday dinner, I like to make an easy casserole. I made this broccoli and cauliflower casserole last Thanksgiving and it was a hit. I am looking forward to making it again this year for Christmas dinner.

Nothing beats the combo of broccoli and cheese or cauliflower and cheese except both of them in one cheesy and creamy casserole. Then add on a bread crumb topping for a bit of crunch. YUMMY!

I used fresh broccoli and a head of fresh cauliflower. If you are in a pinch for time, frozen would work fine too! I also like to use sharp cheddar to cut down on the grease. You could also use a pepper jack or mild cheddar. You could prep the dish the night before and just toss it in the oven before dinner. PERFECT!
