Vegetable Casserole
This tasty vegetable bake is an excellent side dish for any main course. Fresh cauliflower, carrots and broccoli are lightly cooked before being combined with a creamy, piquant sauce made from mayonnaise, onion and horseradish. The mixture is topped with a seasoned breadcrumb crust and baked until golden and bubbling. The horseradish provides a delightful kick. While fresh vegetables are recommended, frozen ones can be used with a reduced cooking time.
