    Gina Farina's Note:

    I have never liked cauliflower unless it was drowning in processed cheese sauce - and even then I didn't like it much). HOWEVER...I found this Kraft recipe and it's so easy, pretty and - yes - tasty! My kids scarfed it down! Make sure to double the sauce/cheese portion. The bright orange of the cheddar cheese creates a very nice presentation for company and holidays.

      Ususally I am not fond of cauliflower but this was a good recipe. Everyone enjoyed it. DH said that if his mother had made cauliflower like this when he was a kid he would have been willing to eat it all the time. :) I will be making this again.

      I made this for my family and we had mixed reviews over it. Let me start out by saying, we all ate it, none got left on our plates. Ok, DH and I loved it, we liked the mustard flavor on each bite. But, on the same note, that is what the kids didn't really care for. They like mustard just not on cauliflower. So, I gave four stars because it was that one aspect that turned the kids off, but as I said earlier, they ate what was on their plates. I will make again for DH and I though. I thought it was great, yummy. Thank you for sharing with us.

      I've been making this cauliflower for years, w/a few changes. Cut cauliflower into bite size pieces, add 1/4 Cup water and microwave on high for 4 minutes, stir then another 3 to 4 minutes. drain well. I keep nothing but Miracle Whip, about 1/4 cup w/1 or 2 tsps of Yellow Mustard stirred into Miracle Whip. Spread over top of cauliflower and Top w/1/2 cup of grated cheddar. Microwave until cheese melts.
