How to Make Hump Day Vegetables

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, carrots, and rutabagas. Cook for 7 minutes.
  3. Add the leeks and cook for another 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Drain well.
  4. While the vegetables cook, make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  6. Reduce heat to low, stir in the cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add the cooked vegetables to the cheese sauce and stir gently to combine.
  8. Pour the vegetable mixture into a greased baking dish.
  9. Top with crumbled bacon.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy!
