Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 cup chopped cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups French-fried onions, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375˚F.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in garlic and cook for 20 seconds.
  3. Add carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, and peas. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until thickened.
  6. Stir in cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
  7. Remove from heat and mix in 1 cup of French-fried onions.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a greased 2-quart baking dish and top with remaining French-fried onions.
  9. Bake uncovered for 22 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
  10. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
