Questions & Replies

  1. I like this recipe, but instead of cauli I will use broccoli with fried onions instead of cornflakes. Update: I used panko crumbs, ham steak, leeks and chopped chicken. My family loves it!!! I will post my version on this site attributing the original recipe to you. Thanks for the inspiration!!

  1. Yummmmy!! This is the best cauliflower casserole recipe I've ever come across! Thank you Inez.
     
  2. Inez, a 5 star plus! You are the Cauliflower Goddess! These lips of mine may never touch cauliflower prepared any other way. :) I wasn't paying attention and added 1/2 cup onion instead of the 1/4 cup called for. No problem, I love onion. I'm also partial to red bell peppers. Other than that, I made this as is. Oh yeah, and I used my gluten-free corn flakes by Glutano. This is a terrific make-ahead dish, too. Thank you!!!
     
  3. I am astounded! I have been making my grandfather’s recipe for cauliflower and cheese for years and didn’t expect to deviate until I tried yours! I made it this evening and could not believe how fresh and crisp the flavours were in contrast to the roast beef we enjoyed with it. I did make two minor adjustments: substituted green onions (the cooking onions I had would have been too strong had they not been sautéed first) and passed on the corn flake crumbs. I am always delightfully surprised by the marriage of the simplest ingredients and their clever ability to recreate themselves as something quite new and wonderful. Thank you!
     
  4. Very tasty casserole. I didn't have any corn flakes, so I substituted 3/4 cup buttery cracker crumbs instead. I'll be making this one again!
     
  5. This is a great way to use cauliflower. Unfortunately, my store did not have any appetizing heads of cauliflower, so I used a bag of frozen instead and blanched them for several minutes. Otherwise I followed the directions exactly and wouldn't change a thing. Great creamy, cheesy flavor with some nice textures from the green pepper, onion, and corn flakes.

Tweaks

  1. This was delicious. I took a few minor liberties; I used frozen cauliflower florets, frozen diced onion and frozen diced green pepper. I didn't pre-cook any of it, just tossed it in frozen. I also substituted Italian seasoned bread crumbs for the cornflakes. We all loved it!<br/>Update: Made again using fresh cauliflower, skipping all the other veggies and the topping. Cut the sour cream in half and just added a dash of onion powder. We STILL loved it!
     
  2. Wooowwwwie! I LOVED this recipe. This will definitely be a regular in our home! The few changes I made were to use dry cracker crumbs in place of cornflakes (didn't have them), lite sour cream, and only 1/2 c. of cheddar cheese to cut down on calories and fat. Fabulous!!!!
     
  3. I just served this for our Thanksgiving Dinner - everyone raved over it! It was very easy and the only thing I did different was substitute Italian bread crumbs for the corn flakes.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
