Baked Cheese Cauliflower

Nov 18th, 2008 Posted in Vegetables | Comments Off

Ingredients

  • Fresh or Frozen Cauliflower
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Butter
  • Onion
  • Small Container of Sour Cream



Directions

I would cook a bag of frozen cauliflower as specified on the package and drain. While it was cooking, I would saute the onion in some butter and add salt and pepper to taste. I would then mix all of the ingredients together and put in a small casserole dish and sprinkle some additional cheddar on top. I would then bake it in the oven until all of the ingredients were nice and warm and the cheese started to brown on the top.

*I just made this tonight and instead of sour cream, I just stuck in a few dots of soft cream cheese. This is good stuff!
