Broccoli Cauliflower Sausage Casserole
This casserole blends broccoli and cauliflower florets with browned smoked sausage for a hearty main or side dish. The vegetables are briefly boiled to tenderize, then combined with browned sausage, a creamy mix of cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, and shredded Mexican blend cheese. Topped with additional cheese and baked until bubbly and golden, the dish is rich and comforting with a mix of textures from the tender vegetables to the savory sausage and melty cheese topping.
