Cauliflower Ham Bake

Submitted by Tara1183

"This is from the Company's Coming Christmas Cookbook, it would be good with broccoli too. I have made it for a couple Christmas dinners with raves. Plus that way you get your ham with your turkey. If you don't have fresh ham get a slab of black forest ham from the deli 1 inch thick. If having for a big meal you can easily serve 10 as a small side. It can be made a day ahead and baked the next day. Can also be a meal."

Very good! I made the recipe as directed using fresh sauteed mushrooms and Ritz cracker crumbs. I also doubled the sauce because it didn't look like there would be enough. The single dose of sauce probably would have been enough. We had a very saucy casserole.

Yummy, did not have any sour cream so left it out and still tasted good. Will add this to my Leftovers collection.

Made this to use up our Easter ham. Just delicious---something different than the usual noodles or potatoes in ham casseroles. Used mostly cauliflower with some broccoli for color. Don't care for canned mushrooms, so I used fresh. DH loved it. Thanks!

Easy to make and absolutely delicious. A great way to incorporate cauliflower into your diet. I usually add a little bit of herb and garlic seasoning to the cheese sauce to give it a little something extra.

This so super good! I made it and it was devoured. Perfect for a brunch type meal. I used margarine and medium cheddar cheese along with italian bread crumbs on top. It was so good! Thank you so much for this recipe! I will use it again soon!
