Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as broccoli, carrots, and potatoes, are good choices for this dish. Vegetables that are more delicate, such as spinach and tomatoes, can be added at the end of cooking to prevent them from overcooking.
- Make sure the cheese sauce is smooth. A smooth cheese sauce is essential for this dish. If your cheese sauce is lumpy, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before using.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The cheese sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you wait too long to serve it, the vegetables will become soggy.

Vegetables with Cheese Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your Vegetables with Cheese Sauce turns out perfectly every time.
