Broccoli and Carrot Cheese Bake image

A creamy sauce flavored with cheese makes vegetables so much more appealing to my crowd. This holiday side dish will please even the pickiest veggie-phobics. It uses vegetables that are available year-round, so it works for Easter as well as winter holiday meals. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
