Ingredients
- 3 ½ to 4 pounds rutabaga cubed
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded gruyere cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Peel and cube rutabaga. Place in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer 10-15 minutes or just until tender. Do not overcook, they will cook more in the oven. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, cook onion in butter on medium low heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour and thyme, cook 2-3 minutes.
- Add milk a little bit at a time stirring until smooth after each addition. It will seem thick at first but will smooth out with each addition. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses until melted. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Toss sauce with rutabaga and transfer to a 2QT baking dish. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned.
