Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 ½ to 4 pounds rutabaga (cubed)
  • ½ cup onion (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ½ cup gruyere cheese (shredded)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Peel and cube rutabaga. Place in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer 10-15 minutes or just until tender. Do not overcook, they will cook more in the oven. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, cook onion in butter on medium low heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour and thyme, cook 2-3 minutes.
  • Add milk a little bit at a time stirring until smooth after each addition. It will seem thick at first but will smooth out with each addition. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses until melted. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
  • Toss sauce with rutabaga and transfer to a 2QT baking dish. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned.
