This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the buffalo sauce and they don't even realize they're eating broccoli and cauliflower.

I like that this casserole can be made ahead of time. I usually make it the night before and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to eat.
