CHEESY CAULIFLOWER & SMOKED SAUSAGE BAKE



Cheesy Cauliflower & Smoked Sausage Bake image

I had a half a pound of smoked sausage and didn't want to just fry and serve it up. I did a bit of " Freezer Diving " ;) and found a bag of cauliflower. So, I combined that with the smoked sausage, a few extras, and a cheese sauce and this is what I came up with. :)If you wanted to, you can cook about 1/8th. to 1/4th cup of finely chopped onion with the sausage. And to make this a One- Dish meal, just add some frozen peas. I want to thank Chef#64642 ( Molly53 ) and Chef#546010 ( Chicagoland du Jour ) for coming up with the name for this recipe.I know that this looks complicated, but it's really easy to make.Submitted to Food.com ( a.k.a. ZAAR ) on January 14th.2011.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: You want the cauliflower to be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a good quality smoked sausage: The smoked sausage is the star of the show in this casserole, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a sausage that is flavorful and has a nice smoky flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: The recipe calls for cheddar cheese, but you can use any type of cheese that you like. Try using a combination of different cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It can be reheated, but it is not as good as when it is fresh.

Conclusion:

Smoked sausage cheesy cauliflower casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is loaded with flavor and is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a new casserole recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
