Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1packFrozen cauliflower; thawed and drained
3tablespoonsMargerine
¼cupFlour
2cupsMilk
1cupShredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1teaspoonSalt
¾teaspoonPepper
2cupsStuffing mix; measured dry (I use Pepperidge Farm)
1cupWater
4tablespoonsMelted margerine

Directions

1. Place defrosted cauliflower in greased oblong casserole dish. Melt the 3 tablespoons margerine in a saucepan. Stir in flour, and cook 1 minute.

Remove from heat, and stir in milk.

2. Return to heat and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick. Remove from heat. Add cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Pour sauce over cauliflower.

3. Combine stuffing mix, water, and 4 tablespoons margerine. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir, then sprinkle on top of the cauliflower, pressing topping down into the cauliflower mixture.

4. Bake covered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover, and bake an additional 10 minutes so topping will get crisp.

Notes: This is one of the recipes I tried during the blizzard in March, 1993 and it has become a family favorite. It looks like you really fussed when you didn't/ Great for an oven meal. Really stretches a box of cauliflower to serve about 6 people. This is also good when you use a combo of broccoli/cauliflower. It can be assembled to the baking stage and refrigerated until needed.
