1 10-ounce package frozen brussels sprouts
1 10-ounce package frozen large lima beans

1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup fresh white breadcrumbs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Boil turnips, brussels sprouts, lima beans and carrots in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain well; place in large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and sage and mix to coat. Mix in ham and 3/4 cup cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetable mixture to prepared dish.
