Thrifty Thursday: Cheesy Quinoa Broccoli Bake

1 head broccoli, florets and stems (peel the stems if skin is tough)
3/4 bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced (steam briefly if you'd like)
2 c. cooked quinoa

Steam the broccoli and cook the quinoa (you'll need 1 c. of dry quinoa). You want both slightly al dente. Chop the pepper and put it into a casserole. Put the broccoli and quinoa on top and toss.

Preheat the oven to 350.

Melt 2 t. each butter and olive oil (I used the stuff in the sun dried tomato jar) over medium heat.
Add 3 cloves of minced garlic. Stir until the garlic is soft.
Add about 1 T. flour and stir well.
Whisk in 1 to 1 and 1/2 cup of milk. Add 2-4 oz. cheese. I used Double Gloucester. Stir until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour over the ingredients in the casserole, then stir until coated. Pop in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Mmm.
