Directions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. CUT cauliflower into large pieces and boil until fork tender. Drain in a colander and leave cauliflower in the colander to drain off more moisture while preparing the cheese sauce.

  4. SHRED cheese and set aside.
  5. CHOP cooked cauliflower small to “rice” it. Set aside.

  8. STIR the shredded sharp cheddar into the sauce.
  9. SPRAY a large casserole dish or a 9 x 13 pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
