### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole

#### 1. **Preheat and Prepare Veggies**

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam or blanch the broccoli and cauliflower florets for 4-5 minutes until just tender but still crisp. Drain well.

#### 2. **Make the Creamy Sauce**

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sautĂŠ until soft and fragrant.
Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
Stir in sour cream, mustard powder, salt, and pepper.
Remove from heat and mix in half the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

#### 3. **Combine and Transfer**

In a large bowl, combine the steamed veggies with the cheese sauce. Mix well.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.

#### 4. **Top and Bake**

Sprinkle breadcrumbs and remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Add Parmesan if using.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
