We have been having this dish very often the past couple of weeks. This is an uber healthy dish that is stuffed with pumpkin, cauliflower and carrots and my kids eat it all up because it is topped with cheddar, parmesan and mozzarella. And they always ask for more. What's more, this is really a very easy dish to prepare:)
- 1 whole pumpkin, skinned and cut into big pieces
- 2 carrots, skinned and cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cauliflower, washed and cut into small pieces
- 2 sweet potato, skinned and cut into big pieces
For all the vegetable and roots above, portions are highly variable and up to personal preference. Pumpkin and sweet potato adds natural sweetness to the dish and no sugar needs to be added. Steam them in till very soft.
For the filling, pork and beef can be used. Mushrooms can also be added. Quickly fry the meat with some garlic and you can use spaghetti sauce for a simple seasoning.
Shred cheddar, parmesan and mozzarella cheese for the topping.
Once the ingredients are prepared, its' easy for the kids to help put the dish together. I usually make many small casseroles that are easy to store, freeze and baked when needed.
I like the simple instructions that 'Cbeebies I can cook' teaches the kids. So we had a similar list for our pumpkin & sweet potato casserole as my kids became my kitchen helpers for the day.

CLEAN UP
Perhaps the most enthusiastic part as the kids get to vacuum up all the cheese that has dropped on the table. Hahah...oh well.
