Other vegetables such as cauliflower, butternut squash, carrots, green beans or zucchini can be substituted for the broccoli. If children struggle with textures or types of vegetables, you can disguise veggies such as carrots and cauliflower by cooking them ahead of time and then puréeing with the cheese sauce.
