We’ve made this many many times! I will usually add garlic & onion powder, and a dash each of mustard and Worchester. Totally optional, but this really perks the dish up. Can be a side dish or main meal. I only use one large head of cauliflower, it seems like plenty. Sometimes will add bullion powder to the water before steaming as well for added flavor.
Pretty much kept as is but did add spices to sour cream mixture. might do some of other suggestions next time depending on physical capabilities at the time.
It was great!!!! New staple!
Very good, keeper
I would make this again. Next time I will steam the cauliflower longer. I thought it would be over cooked by the time it came out of the oven but it was a bit crunchy but still tasted great. Oh, and for a do ahead option I assembled the cassarole and then refrigerated it over night and baked it that evening.
I had a small head of cauliflower and so scaled back everything. I also followed one reviewed suggestion to add Dijon mustard. For my husband and me, we’re sticking with steamed and buttered.
Pretty good but what I did was used leftover cooked cauliflower so I had about a half a head and then I adjusted the sour cream and cheddar cheese down to a half cup each and I nuked it in the microwave on medium for 5 – 6 minutes. I also put salt and pepper on it. Leave a space in the middle so you won’t get cold spots.
I tried this recipe just as it was stated and my family and mother and sister-in-law loved. I agree with the other comments that it was on the bland side so next time I will be kicking it up a notch.
Made tonight for dinner. It was easy and delicious. Will make again soon.
I don’t like cauliflower. The texture, the flavor… there’s very little about it that recommends itself to me. This recipe had me going back for seconds, and I even bought a cauliflower the next time I went to the supermarket just so I could make it again.
Less sour cream and cheese needed and got more flavor from adding some Penzey’s ranch dip and dressing mix. Used panko breadcrumbs.
This was delicious. After looking at several other recipes I decided I would add red peppers. Baked up perfect and paired great with pork loin.
I thought I had sour cream but I didn’t. So I substituted large curd cottage cheese. It was wonderful.
I really enjoyed this recipe, but did jazz it up. I microwaved the cauliflower as some suggested. I mixed the sour cream and cheese and a large spoonful of horseradish for zing. I then added the breadcrumbs. Tasted great!
Didn’t turn out…very bland.
very good, And I thought I didn’t like cauliflower…
I had great hopes for this recipe but it didn’t work out for us. The overwhelming taste of the sour cream negated any other flavors. I had nothing in my arsenal to counteract the sour cream taste. It was also underspiced. I recommend kosher salt and cracked black pepper, parsley and some garlic powder.
Absolutely delicious! I only had 1 head of cauliflower, so I cut the recipe in half. I cooked a little chopped onion along with the cauliflower. I used a mixture of sour cream & ranch dressing; added a few slices of american cheese along with the cheddar & increased the butter a bit. We couldn’t stop eating it! Even my picky 3 year old loved it! Thanks!
We top this with corn flakes just to give it a nice crunch. So good and an excellent way to use a whole head of cauliflower. I do steam the cauliflower for a few minutes before tossing it.
Normally i slave over reviews obsessively analyzing how to prepare a recipe how I would enjoy it. For once I did not do that, being in a major hurry, and voila – this was perfect! Of course you can add garlic, pepper, etc. during any step to suit your tastes if you prefer, but this is a great simple, tasty and quick sidedish.
Excellent. I love cauliflower on it’s own but have to dress it up for fussy kids. A dish the entire family will love.
