If you have cauliflower cheese as a main meal .....?

How I did it last night.
Put some broccolli and cauli on to simmer for five to ten minutes.
While that's cooking, gently fry some mushrooms in butter, then when they are cooked put half a tub of fresh cream in the pan, give it a stir then add the cauli and broccolli.
Pour into 2 heatproof dishes, then sprinkle a very generous amount of cheese on top, then grill till it's all bubly and brown on top.
It was very tasty but I think some red pepper would have improved it, or onion.

Cook/steam the cauliflower and other veggies. Add sauce. Chuck breadcrumbs and some extra strong cheese on the top. That's a meal.


If you have to add something more (and I had a huge shock the first time I was informed that a whole cauliflower, a whole head of broccoli, cheese, peas, carrots, green beans and a breadcrumb topping was the equivalent of a spring of parsley on a lump of cow), I would suggest some bacon bits grilled until crispy.


Goes really well with well salted chips, though



Cauli cheese AND meat AND yorkshires AND potatoes AND more veg AND stuffing AND everything else: And they wonder why people are so flaming fat these days.

I put pasta in it, or new potatoes.

Cauliflower cheese and sausages in our family lovely

We have it with sausages too, but when I first suggested it O/H thought it sounded ridiculous! I love cauliflower cheese and will eat it anytime

Hot buttered toast, sounds bizarre but my Grandad loved it so i humoured him and tried some and it's yummy! Grandad's not here anymore but the toast and cauliflower cheese lives on nom nom nom. Even better if the toast is from a sliced crusty loaf and there is a few burnt bits!
