Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large saucepan, bring water to boiling on the stove.
Add cauliflower to boiling water and set timer for 5 minutes. Add broccoli to the pan when there are 2 minutes left on timer.
Drain when vegetables are tender.
Arrange broccoli and cauliflower in 9x9 inch pan.
Pour half of the melted butter over vegetables.
Sprinkle the cheese cubes over the top.
Roll out Ritz crackers and place the crumbs into a bowl; mixing the crumbs with the remaining melted butter.
Sprinkle the crushed crackers over the casserole.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Uniform Cooking: To ensure even cooking, it's important to cut the cauliflower and broccoli florets into similar sizes. This ensures that they cook at the same rate, resulting in tender and evenly cooked vegetables throughout the casserole.
Enhance Flavor: While Velveeta cheese provides a creamy and cheesy base for the casserole, feel free to add additional seasonings or mix-ins to enhance the flavor. Consider incorporating minced garlic, chopped onions, or a sprinkle of paprika for extra depth of flavor.
Texture Variation: For a more varied texture, consider adding additional toppings or mix-ins. Chopped bacon, toasted breadcrumbs, or shredded cheese can be sprinkled on top before baking to add crunch and flavor contrast to the creamy casserole base.
