CHEESY CAULIFLOWER IN THE MICROWAVE

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook the entire bag of cauliflower in the microwave. I use a covered dish with about a tablespoon of water on the "frozen vegetable" setting. Or follow instructions on the package. You can use fresh cauliflower. One medium head should yield about one pound and cook in a microwave in 4-5 minutes with a bit of water.
• Slice 3 green onions.
• Move cauliflower to the mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher. You could also use a mixer or food processor, but you are NOT trying to cream this. Add cheddar cheese, sour cream, scallions, salt, and pepper. Add bacon if using.
• Mix well and move to a baking pan. Maybe refrigerated or cooked now.
• Cook in preheated oven 375° convection until the top is browned. About 20 minutes until nicely browned. (you may adjust the temp depending on your needs for timing or cooking with other foods)
• Try to let set for 5 minutes before serving.

EASY CHEESY CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Place cauliflower in a deep microwave safe dish that has a lid or can be covered with plastic wrap.
• Mix together mayonnaise, mustard, Nature's Seasons, and 1 cup of cheese.
• Spread over cauliflower, covering completely. Use it all.
• Top with remaining cheese.
• Cover and microwave on 50% power for 10 minutes.
• At this point you can top it with seasoned bread crumbs, if you choose.
• Then microwave on high for about 5 minutes.
• Let sit in microwave, covered, for 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove the lid or plastic wrap (hot steam will escape). And serve.

CHEESY LOADED CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook cauliflower: Add 1-inch of water to a large pot. Bring the water to a boil. Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket and insert the basket into the pot. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium and steam until the cauliflower is tender-crisp, about 5-8 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and transfer it to a clean work surface lined with paper towels. Gently pat the cauliflower dry and set aside to cool.
• Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Spray an 9x9 or 8x10-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Mix wet ingredients + seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed soup, mayonnaise, eggs, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt and heaping ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Whisk until thick, creamy, and well combined.
• Add remaining ingredients: Add the steamed cauliflower, 1 cup of cheddar (4 ounces), all the gruyere, ¼ cup of bacon, and all the parsley. Gently mix well to combine.
• Add to baking dish: Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Top with cheeses & Bake: Top the casserole with the remaining ½ cup of cheddar. Bake for 40 minutes.
• Add onions + remaining bacon: Remove the casserole from the oven and top with the remaining bacon and all the crispy onions. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown on top.
• Cool: Remove from the oven and let you cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Serve: Garnish with grated parmesan and chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy while warm!
