Tips for Making Slow-Cooked Vegetables with Cheese Sauce:
- Choose firm vegetables that will hold their shape well during cooking. Good options include carrots, potatoes, celery, and broccoli.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a slow cooker with a lid that fits tightly. This will help to keep the vegetables moist and prevent them from drying out.
- Add enough liquid to the slow cooker so that the vegetables are almost completely covered. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the cooker.
- Cook the vegetables on low for 6-8 hours, or until they are tender.
- Make the cheese sauce while the vegetables are cooking. This will save you time and ensure that the sauce is hot and melted when you are ready to serve the dish.
- Serve the slow-cooked vegetables with cheese sauce over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
