EASY CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE



Easy Cauliflower Casserole image

Loaded with cheese and covered with breadcrumbs, your kids just might confuse this Easy Cauliflower Casserole with their favorite Baked Macaroni and Cheese recipe. Lucky for you, not only is this version loaded with veggies instead of pasta, it also makes the most of your pantry staples. Grab the cooking spray, panko, and can of cream of chicken soup, and you're practically halfway there. Don't have cream of chicken? Any "cream of" soup will do the trick. Try cream of celery to mix things up. Ready in just 45 minutes, this is the ultimate weeknight casserole, though it makes a statement at any potluck supper too. For a party-ready touch, add a dash of parsley to your casserole as soon as you pull it out of the oven. It's the ultimate way to dress up the golden panko topping if you're making and taking for a special occasion.

Yield Serves 4 to 6 (serving size: about 1 cup)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium (1 lb.) head cauliflower
1 (10.5-oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
Cooking spray

CAULIFLOWER RYE CASSEROLE



Cauliflower Rye Casserole image

Yeah, I know this looks a little odd, but it's really good. "Sundays at Moosewood" describes it as a baked cheese fondue...I suppose that's pretty accurate.

Provided by Aunt Cookie

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup beer
3 cups cubed rye bread (about 4 slices)
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon caraway seed
3 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 eggs
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
pepper

Steps:

  • The beer needs to be flat for this recipe, so pour it out and let it sit for about an hour before you start cooking.
  • Toast the bread cubes in one layer at 300 f until they're crisp. This will probably take 15 minutes.
  • Saute the cauliflower and caraway seeds in the butter until barely tender.
  • Combine bread cubes, cauliflower, and grated cheese, then spread in a greased 2 quart casserole dish.
  • Blend remaining ingredients (including that beer) and pour over the cauliflower.
  • Bake at 350 F for 30-45 minutes, until puffed up.

CAULIFLOWER RICE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Yummy low-carb breakfast casserole.

Provided by Kashmandoo

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Cauliflower     Rice

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 serving cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package hot pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®)
1 (12 ounce) package frozen riced cauliflower
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ sweet onion, diced
12 large eggs
¼ cup milk
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Reserve grease in the pan; place sausage into the prepared dish.
  • Cook and stir cauliflower rice in the bacon grease over medium heat, actively stirring, until most of the moisture has been removed, 3 to 4 minutes. Place cauliflower in the casserole dish; mix in bell pepper and onion.
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl with milk, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over ingredients in the casserole dish; do not mix.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Add remaining cheese on top and continue to bake until melted, 3 to 4 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prepare the cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into small florets to ensure even cooking throughout the casserole. Steaming the cauliflower before adding it to the casserole helps to soften it and reduce its cooking time.
  • Use a combination of cheeses: The recipe uses a blend of sharp cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. This combination provides a rich and flavorful cheese sauce that complements the cauliflower and rye bread.
  • Add some spice: For a touch of warmth and flavor, the recipe suggests adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. This is optional, but it can help to balance the richness of the cheese sauce and add a subtle kick to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the casserole from the oven. Overcooking can dry out the cauliflower and make the casserole less enjoyable.

Conclusion:

The cauliflower rye casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover cauliflower and rye bread, and it's also a good source of vegetables and protein. With its creamy cheese sauce, hearty bread, and flavorful cauliflower, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Whether you're looking for a comforting weeknight meal or a special dish to serve for a potluck, this cauliflower rye casserole is a perfect choice.
