Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Fall Vegetable Casserole.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and generously greasing a 3-quart casserole dish to ensure easy serving later.
Step 2
In a spacious saucepan, combine milk with diced carrots, sweet potatoes, leeks, parsnips, celery, butternut squash, and turnip.
Step 3
Bring this vibrant medley to a lively boil, then lower the heat to medium-low, allowing it to simmer for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally to keep everything well-mixed.
Step 4
Once the veggies are perfectly softened, introduce cubed cream cheese, stirring until it melts into a creamy delight.
Step 5
Next, fold in shredded Parmesan cheese along with a hint of nutmeg, seasoning the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 6
Transfer this luscious vegetable blend into your prepared casserole dish.
Step 7
In a separate small bowl, combine fine bread crumbs with melted butter, then sprinkle this golden mixture evenly over the casserole's surface.
Step 8
Cover the dish with foil and let it bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until it bubbles enticingly.
Step 9
After that, remove the foil and allow it to bake for an additional 5 minutes, just until the top achieves a lovely golden brown.
Step 10
Once done, let the casserole rest for 2 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
