Very good! I did not use parmesan cheese, just colby and cheddar. I also used 2% milk. Thanks!

I always like to find different ways to make cauliflower, so I was glad to see this recipe. The pimientos really do look pretty and jazz up the taste, too. I think I used closer to 1 cup of cheddar. I also replaced the dried onion flakes with about 1 tbsp fresh minced onion. This would present very nicely in a red serving bowl on a Christmas dinner table. Thanx for posting this; it's a keeper!

There's only one thing that would make this better: a baked potato with bacon and broccoli under it!!! This is really REALLY good sauce. It's the first time I've ever fixed fresh cauliflower, and cauliflower is not my favorite thing. This sauce would work on broccoli, or even over a bland chicken to perk it up. Pam, this is absolutely a keeper for me, and I'm so mad that I waited so long to try it.

This was good. I'll probably add more cheese next time though.
