Easiest Cheesiest Cauliflower
"This is the easiest recipe imaginable. It may be one of the reasons that Velveeta was invented. It's also low carb and delicious. What else do you need? I've never seen this serve more than four people, two in my household."

This recipe is very easy and it had a great taste. The Velveeta and cream didn't mix well for me, and it was a little runny. I think next time I'll use less cream or skip it entirely. Thanks for posting this recipe. -
Simple, delicious recipe. Great for low carb. If you want some crunchy topping, just mix together 1/2 cup ground pork rinds and 2T grated parmesan cheese and sprinkle on top before baking. -
I used California Vegie mix (Broccoli, cauliflower and carrots) and cheddar instead of Velveeta. It was great! We ate every bite. Thank you -
Vina thank you for sharing this recipe. Not only did we enjoy it, but it had less calories than the velveeta casserole with the butter and ritz crackers. (I use the same recipe for cauliflower and for broccoli.)

This was a very tasty recipe, and easier than the one I have previously used to make a cheese sauce. I made the mistake of not reading the recipe carefully and put in the whole carton of cream (1/2c), so mine had a thinner sauce than it would have had. I ate this with Steak Milano and some pasta. I put some of the extra sauce over part of the pasta. I suspect broccoli would also be good made this same way. I will make this recipe again!

I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!)
The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own.
I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me.
Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
