Green Bean and Cauliflower Casserole image

I like to make a savory homemade cream sauce for the timeless green bean casserole. This time I added another vegetable for a delicious twist that sets my casserole apart from the rest! You can omit the vermouth if you'd like by substituting another half cup of chicken broth. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts
