Steps:
- 1. Wash cauliflower and cut into medium-sized florets. Add to a large pot of boiling, salted water. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

- 4. Stir the hot cheese sauce into the cooked and drained cauliflower and mix well, smashing with a large spoon as you go.
- 5. Serve with your favorite entree.
