a veggie side dish even the kiddies will love!

Last night I made some good ol' BBQ. I do this many times a week. It is my favorite way to cook meat. But, I love to mix up my sides. This side dish is great for everyone! It will even interest the kids, and is SUPER easy! I took 1/2 a head of cauliflower, 1/2 a bunch of broccoli, 3 whole carrots, sliced them up and steamed for about 7-10 min.(depending on your steamer). Take the steamed veggies, place them in a 3 quart cooking dish and sprinkle with some salt, pepper and a bag of shredded cheese(i love gouda but you can use any type that tickles your fancy :) ) Place in a 350 degree oven until cheese is almost melted. Once the cheese is almost melted, place the broiler on(this gives heat from the top of the oven) and let stand until there is a crispy top, about 3-4 min. Take out and if you like, you could even top with parmesan cheese, or a little ranch dressing.  a great side dish that even kiddies would love!

  2. It wil make it more like a cassorole! So much that you could add chicken, shrimp etc. and it really would be a hearty meal!
