Cooking Methods

  1. Put a steamer basket in a small amount of simmering water in a Dutch oven. Put the potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and bell pepper in the basket. Cook, covered, for 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Transfer to an 11x7x2-inch baking dish.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. In a food processor or blender, process the bread until the texture of coarse bread crumbs.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 1/2 cup milk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  4. In a medium saucepan, stir together the remaining 1 cup milk and the cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently with a flat spatula. Boil until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.
  5. Stir the cheese, mustard, salt and cayenne into the sauce until the cheese melts. Pour over the vegetables. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs.
  6. Broil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until browned. Remove from the broiler and let stand for 20 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Fun Facts / Cooking Tips

The standing time gives the flavors of the no-bake casserole time to be absorbed and lets the sauce thicken, so don't rush this step. The end result of this delicious recipe for diabetics is worth a few minutes' wait.
