As root vegetables come to harvest, try this out. These are the vegetables I use but they can be altered to suit your individual taste. Collectively, everything comes together and everything tastes GOOD even if you don't like parsnips or turnips.

Stir bread crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl; sprinkle crumb mixture over casserole.
