I made this for three very picky kids I was babysitting. It was a little sweet when I tried it, so I added a little cheddar, put it in a 9”x13” baking dish, and added breadcrumbs and parmesan on top. Baked it at 400 for about 20-23 minutes. The kids absolutely loved it, and they had no idea they were eating so many veggies.

I also add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese to add a little sharpness. It’s a favorite in our house.
