Easy Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese
This is a super simple snack or side dish that can be whipped up in the microwave in less than ten minutes. If you love Broccoli, Cauliflower and Cheese you will love this dish. If you keep broccoli and cauliflower chopped up for snacking, this is a great way to finish up the bag or grab as a late night snack.
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped broccoli florets
1 cup chopped cauliflower florets
2-3 ounces cheese (I like Velveeta, but shredded will work)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Place 1/2 inch water in a microwavable bowl (with lid)
2. Add broccoli and cauliflower (salt and pepper)
3. Cover and microwave for 4 minutes, check for tenderness, cook 1 more minute if needed
4. Drain off water and return to bowl
5. Mix in cheese and microwave on 30 second shots until cheese is melted
Try serving it:
Smashed up and spread on crackers
Smashed up and placed on celery sticks

I have to say, cheese makes everything better! This looks delicious. I wish my boyfriend would eat veggies.
This is my favorite dish and would love to make it from scratch
That’s the only way to eat vegetables. Swimming in cheese sauce. I like Velveeta. It melts down well.
This sounds simple and oh so good. Thank you for sharing this great recipe
love broccoli, cauliflower and cheese. eat on a reg basis, i add low fat cheese. my 3 dogs love as well, we share sometimes. but i give them the parts w/out the cheese. i also dont use salt and pepper. i just steam them in the microwave.
i like broccoli with a nice juice steak..this will work just fine thanks
We absolutely love cheesy broccoli in this house.

This sounds so simple and easy to do and looks good.
Looks good to me! I love broccoli!
This looks yummy, and the cheese makes it appealing to the little ones.
This looks delicious. I haven’t ever tried Velveeta cheese. Does it have the consistency of Cheese Whiz? Flavour? Definitely something that I want to try because I love broccoli and cauliflower with cheese.
Two vegetables that I don’t eat often (enough). The cheese puts it over the top. Gonna have to give it a try. Sounds pretty easy as well.
I have been using this recipe for years and we love it and now they have velveta in different flavors and it also makes great broccoli and cheese, you can also add bacon bits to this and it really adds to the flavor, thank you for reviewing and it does work to get your child to eat more veggies.
Love that this is so quick to fix! Our grandson would love this, too.
WOW. That look delicious.
Yum. This looks like something I’d love to eat after the little one (with the milk allergy) is in bed.
My kids would love this snack on crackers!
This looks so good!
I made this on the stove top instead of the microwave. it was delicious.
This ooks so good that I had to share it on Pinterest so I know where to find it. It made me hungry and I just finished dinner! LOL
Looks delicious! I love broccoli & cauliflower. And, hey, doesn’t cheese make everything better?
This looks and sounds so delicious! I can’wait for my family to try this.
I absolutely love both cauliflower and broccoli. This not only looks delicious but super easy to make. Definitely will try this, thanks for posting this recipe.
Looks really yummy and very healthy too!
I like this sounds so good and easy to make thank you
Yum! This looks like something my daughter would really enjoy. She loves broccoli, so this would be a fun a change from just steamed veggies!
If we ever go out to a buffet and they offer broccoli and cheese sauce, that is where you will find my youngest! lol this looks so good and easy!!!
Wow..we love cauliflower and cheese, but have never tried it in a microwave. Thank you very much…guess what we will be featuring for supper tommorrow

I love this recipe. I have tried it and it is wonderful. My family eats it all up no matter how much I make.
That looks delicious!
Oh yum, we love cheese on our cruciferous veggies. Thanks for sharing, sound so easy sans the stove.
I love broccoli! This sounds so good! When I get broccoli I will make this!
Obviously, I shared this immediately with other father’s and mother’s, well. I posted it online as well!When I first came across this, it reminded me of my mother’s recipe except her’s added garlic & sea salt in addition to the other ingredients.
I love broccoli and cauliflower and so does my husband, this looks easy and delicious, thanks!
This dish sounds so good and so easy. Thank you so much for sharing
Looks really good and so creamy. I love broccoli.
What a great idea! Looks filling, too which is important. However, I will make it with a vegan “cheese.”
I just made something similar for dinner except I put in the oven. Yummy
Three of my favorite foods, combined – what’s not to like?!
This looks warm and healthy. It would go well with chicken or steak I think.
This looks great. This is my kind of food. I would not need meat with this dish.
I love this recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
Looks yum!
That is so quick and easy! I love broccoli & cauliflower with cheese. This is going in my Pinterest Food pins.
I love broccoli and cheese. I think the cauliflower is a good substitute for rice or even pasta. YUM.
This looks fantastic. I cannot wait to make this for the family.
Cheesy Broccoli/Cauliflower has always been a favorite of mine. Just your picture is making my mouth water!!!
The best – and really only – way to eat broccoli and cauliflower is with cheese. I love how easy this is. Doing it in the microwave is fast and simple. Plus, you can use whatever cheese you have on hand.
That is what I call comfort food!!
i think if i made it like this more often, my kids would eat more of it! they do like broccoli though. i just think the melty cheese would make it taste better for them and gives calcium at the same time.
That is the only way I can eat vegetables. Smothered in cheese sauce. Thanks for the recipe.
This sounds like a really good recipe. It is short and sweet easy to do and probably tastes better than the recipes that have a ton of ingredients and a dozen steps.lol thanks for the recipe I will definitely give it a try.
Great idea about using it as a spread!
OMG! This looks so delicious!!! I think I’ll stop at the store on my way home this evening and get the stuff to make it for my husband tonight. Thank you for the recipe. Yummy!!!
This looks really good and easy to make!! Im going to make this for all my babies!!
Thanks for the recipe!!
I’ve made this before and it is delicious. Great way to get the kids to eat their veggies.
Made this for my son today! Delicious! Thank you so much for this amazingly simple and tasty recipe.
This sounds like a dish that I would LOVE! My husband does not care for broccoli or cauliflower, but he can eat something else! lol
This looks so delicious!
