Super easy and delicious. Made it as written today, but did add some salt and pepper. Other times, I’ve added 2 chopped green onions and some cooked/crumbled bacon.
It was so good. It was even good the next day cold. Although probably better warm.
This was so amazing!! My new go to! Easy and delish and added lots of bacon bits and fresh chives from the garden
Delicious! I use dry Italian dressing instead of ranch because that’s what I always have on hand. I add a little extra cheese and some chives, and didn’t bother with the butter. I make this every couple of weeks—we love it!
Love it but substitute cottage cheese as I didn’t have sour cream or yogurt. I added tuna fish after draining it, added lemon juice then drained it. Added green onions. It was delicious. Love this recipe as could cook with variety additions as casserole or leave as side dish.
Excellent way to enjoy cauliflower, very tasty, looked beautiful with cheese & brown top! Easy & quick to make, because you can do other prepping for meal while cauliflower steams & when in the oven. I mixed the sour cream, grated cheese & spices in a separate bowl, also added fresh ground pepper (maybe I’ll add chopped green onion slivers next time)
Didn’t change anything. My first time ever making anything cauliflower , since I can’t stand them , and it actually wasn’t bad.
This was a good method for preparing a bland vegetable. The only thing that I would add next time would be some chopped bacon, to make this taste closer to “loaded” potatoes
This was very delicious. I cooked onions in the butter and added minced garlic to taste instead of the onion powder and garlic powder. I topped it off with a lot more cheddar cheese. This was excellent as a leftover side dish 2 days later.
This turned out so delicious. I was skeptical about putting the brown sugar and ketchup on the bottom, but the juices from the meatloaf cooking caused the whole meatloaf to marinate in the brown sugar and ketchup mixture. I did add bell peppers. I will absolutely be making this again.
I made this per the recipe, only I used frozen cauliflower. It mashed up pretty well, added the specified ingredients, only I added a little cheddar cheese on top as well as in the mixture. Y’all, I just didn’t like it. I didn’t care for the ranch flavor. Maybe I’ll try again without the ranch seasoning. Someone mentioned bacon bits, maybe that would do the trick. Could be I needed a fresh head cauliflower, or at least more frozen. Maybe it needed to be beaten like mashed potatoes. Back to the drawing board…I’ll try again.
I like a lot of flavor so I used (a lot!) more ranch seasoning than called for but am so happy with this recipe!! YUM!!!
This was pretty good. I used a bit extra cheese and fresh garlic and onion, forgot the butter on top but didn’t seem to miss it. The flavor was ok, but I think the artificial taste of the Ranch mix came through too strong for me. Thank you for a good change for cauliflower!
I followed the recipe exactly as written. It was not as flavorful as I thought it would be. If I make it again, I will add salt, pepper, and more of everything else.
It was very tasty. Hubby liked it too. Will make this again
I made it go with my fish it was easy and yummy
Made as directed but added chopped up bacon. Very good and yummy. I microwaved my cauliflower and then mashed. Nice change from the regular veggies to pass at the dinner table.
I added French onion dip!
I.m making it for the second time today. It’s great as written, but today I had some cooked bacon to use up so I tossed that in too. It’s now my go-to cauliflower recipe. I love
The Best side dish! Wow. If you struggle with getting people to eat their vegetables you must try this!
I introduced my family to everything cauliflower and we definitely wanted “mash potatoes” for Christmas dinner. This recipe was easy to follow and I had majority of the ingredients on hand. I didn’t have ranch seasoning. But it came out wonderfully.
