LOW-CARB CHEESY CAULIFLOWER GRATIN BAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the cauliflower for about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Whisk in the flour until well combined with the butter and it forms a brown paste. Pour in the hot half-and-half and keep whisking until it starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and season with salt and white pepper. Add in the Parmesan and 3/4 cup of the Gruyere. Keep whisking.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of the mixture on the bottom of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Place the cauliflower on top and spoon the rest of the sauce on top. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat and stir in the parsley. Drizzle the parsley butter over the cauliflower and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere.
- Bake until the top of the gratin is browned, about 30 minutes. (My advice would be to check halfway through, as ovens vary.) Serve.
CHEESY CAULIFLOWER & SMOKED SAUSAGE BAKE
I had a half a pound of smoked sausage and didn't want to just fry and serve it up. I did a bit of " Freezer Diving " ;) and found a bag of cauliflower. So, I combined that with the smoked sausage, a few extras, and a cheese sauce and this is what I came up with. :)If you wanted to, you can cook about 1/8th. to 1/4th cup of finely chopped onion with the sausage. And to make this a One- Dish meal, just add some frozen peas. I want to thank Chef#64642 ( Molly53 ) and Chef#546010 ( Chicagoland du Jour ) for coming up with the name for this recipe.I know that this looks complicated, but it's really easy to make.Submitted to Food.com ( a.k.a.

CHEESY FANCY CAULIFLOWER BAKE
This sounds like a weird combination of ingredients, but it's really good. I adapted this from a higher-fat recipe I found on the internet. It's still not low fat, but at least better for you than the original. Delicious left over too! Leftovers can be put into a baked potato for another main dish meal, or stir cooked rice and smoked sausage or cooked chicken or ham into it and re-bake it for another casserole. It freezes well for use later on in a potato, or as a soup if you puree it. You can use real mayo, miracle whip, or the store brand equivalent. Also velveeta (4-6 ounces) works as well as cheddar. 18 saltines is about 1/2 a sleeve of saltines from the box. You don't have to really measure them exactly. You can also use other crackers that you have such as cheese-its, or ritz types that are a little stale.

Steps:
- Prepare the cauliflower by steaming it for about 10 minutes until it's slightly tender, but not squashy. You can either cut it into pieces or leave it whole as you desire. Whole makes a dramatic presentation, cut is good for easy serving.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, crush the crackers and put into a bowl with the softened margarine. Stir with a fork until it all goes together and the crackers are coated, set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the miracle whip, salt, pepper, mustard,and milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring with a wire whisk. Boil for one minute, then add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Put the cauliflower in a 9x13 baking dish, pour the cheese sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle the cracker/butter mixture over the top, and then place the pan in the oven broiler for a few minutes until the topping is browned. Do not step away from the oven because this browns very quickly!
