Gradually add the milk stirring continuously over a medium heat until the sauce thickens and boils. Reduce heat and simmer a further minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the grated tasty cheese and cooked bacon. Season to taste. Pour the sauce over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the topping over the sauce. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until top is golden and vegetables are hot.
