This recipe is one I made from ingredients I had on hand. The boyfriend (who hates anything "creamy") ate almost all of it. A great way to use up leftover ham.

CAULIFLOWER HAM BAKE

This is from the Company's Coming Christmas Cookbook, it would be good with broccoli too. I have made it for a couple Christmas dinners with raves. Plus that way you get your ham with your turkey. If you don't have fresh ham get a slab of black forest ham from the deli 1 inch thick. If having for a big meal you can easily serve 10 as a small side. It can be made a day ahead and baked the next day. Can also be a meal.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups cauliflower, broken in florets
boiling water, to cover
2 cups cubed cooked ham
10 ounces canned mushrooms (saute fresh first) or 1 cup fresh mushrooms (saute fresh first)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (I like 2% evaporated)
1 cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream (low fat ok)
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Cook cauliflower in boiling water until tender crisp and drain.
  • Add ham and mushrooms and mix well.
  • Melt butter in saucepan, mix in flour and salt and gradually whisk in milk until it boils and thickens.
  • Add cheese.
  • Stir until melted, add sour cream and stir until smooth.
  • Put cauliflower mixture in 3-quart casserole, pour sauce over top and sprinkle with crumbs Bake uncovered at 350°F for 30-40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no brown spots or blemishes.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large baking dish: This will give the cauliflower and ham plenty of room to spread out and cook.
  • Season the cauliflower and ham generously: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Bake the cauliflower and ham until it is tender: The cauliflower should be slightly browned and the ham should be cooked through.
  • Serve the cauliflower and ham immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower ham bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. The cauliflower and ham are both cooked in a creamy sauce, which makes them tender and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
