Cauliflower Cheese

Submitted by Brian Holley

"This is favorite in our house, it can be served as an accompaniment to a roast dinner or as a main course with potatoes either roasted or chipped. I use what ever cheese I have in the fridge and often use two or three cheeses to add flavour."

I did like this recipe, but it needed to be cheesier for me. I think I'd double the cheese next time.

Really delicious! I made this as written. I loved the mustardy cheese sauce. I used a sharp cheddar cheese and Dijon mstard. I was lucky to have nice juicy homegrown tomatoes to put on top. That made all the difference. Thanx for a new cauliflower recipe. It's a keeper!
