[recipe re-post] Cheesy Cauliflower

[Guest guest]

This is just so good and a nice step up from the basic

cheese over cauliflower dish with the additions of peas

and mushrooms; gives nice color.

 

Cheesy Cauliflower

 

1 large head cauliflower (2 pounds), broken into florets

1/3 cup butter or margarine

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 1/2 cups milk

1 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

 

In a covered saucepan, cook cauliflower in a small

amount of water until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in

another saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt

and pepper until smooth. Gradually stir in milk.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook for two minutes

or until thickened. Remove from heat. Drain cauliflower.

Add peas, mushrooms, one cup of the cheese and

cauliflower to the milk mixture; stir gently. Transfer to

a greased 2 1/2 qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining

cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20

minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until

heated through.

Yield: 8 servings

potential.  The impulse to evolve is thus inherent in the

very nature of life.
