"What’s better than an ooey, gooey, cheesy concoction to celebrate fall? This dish is pure comfort and can be made with just potatoes for a classic potato au gratin or a combination of root and winter vegetables. Make it yours by thinly slicing your favorites and dousing it in this cheesy sauce for a rich, decadent side. Serve with a refreshing salad and protein of your choice for a complete meal. The cheesy sauce is very versatile and can also be used as a dip for veggies or chips, to smother whole baked potatoes or poured over steamed vegetables — especially good with broccoli and cauliflower!"
