I made this for my family last night; served it with costco rotisserie chicken. It was a big hit!
1 1/2 cups cooked broccoli mashed
1 1/2 cups cooked cauliflower mashed
3 cups cooked quinoa
Mix veggies and quinoa together, place in 9x13 pan that is sprayed with nonstick coating.
cheese sauce:
1/4 c butter (or olive oil)
1/2 onion chopped fine
1tsp ground garlic
3 tbs flour
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3 cups milk (I use 1%)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Melt butter in a heavy 3 qt saucepan over med heat. Sauté onions in butter until translucent. Add cayenne pepper and garlic. Add flour, stirring constantly, until it bubbles. Add milk, whisk into flour mixture. Stir often as it thickens, about 7-10 min. Turn off heat, add salt and pepper to taste. Add cheddar cheese.
Pour sauce over the top of quinoa/veggie mixture slowly, allowing liquid to seep into it. Top with Parmesan cheese. Bake 350 about 30-40 min until cheese is golden brown and casserole is bubbling.
