Easy Cheesy Potato & Cauliflower Casserole

By: Rosemary Published: October 26, 2020 Updated on: November 27, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Easy Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole makes the perfect side dish. Cauliflower never tasted so good, a delicious creamy centre with a crunchy lightly buttered topping. Make this your Holiday Side Dish Recipe.

I love making casseroles for side dishes, especially when it involves cheese and crunchy topping, and yes this has both. Cauliflower was one of those vegetables that my mother-in-law cooked but nothing exciting. The usual simmer then toss with olive oil, salt and garlic, don’t get me wrong veggies are always good this way but a hearty comfort casserole is good once in awhile also. And they agreed, they absolutely loved my Broccoli Cheese Bake.

This is the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas or even a family or friend get together. I like to serve it with a roast, pork or beef or even with a fish dish. It basically goes with almost everything.

How to store it

Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep for up to 2-3 days. It can be reheated either in a microwave, on the stove or in a low oven.

          Hi Pina, egg is used as a binder, so maybe a tablespoon or 2 of milk should be added instead. Let me know how it goes. Take care!

          Hi Elaine, yes it can be frozen, it is probably best to freeze it baked, make sure it has cooled down, and re-heat while still frozen.

          Hi Kim yes you can put it together the day before, cover with foil and refrigerate. Let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes ( no more) before baking. Let me know how it goes.
