CHEESY FANCY CAULIFLOWER BAKE
This sounds like a weird combination of ingredients, but it's really good. I adapted this from a higher-fat recipe I found on the internet. It's still not low fat, but at least better for you than the original. Delicious left over too! Leftovers can be put into a baked potato for another main dish meal, or stir cooked rice and smoked sausage or cooked chicken or ham into it and re-bake it for another casserole. It freezes well for use later on in a potato, or as a soup if you puree it. You can use real mayo, miracle whip, or the store brand equivalent. Also velveeta (4-6 ounces) works as well as cheddar. 18 saltines is about 1/2 a sleeve of saltines from the box. You don't have to really measure them exactly. You can also use other crackers that you have such as cheese-its, or ritz types that are a little stale.

Steps:
- Prepare the cauliflower by steaming it for about 10 minutes until it's slightly tender, but not squashy. You can either cut it into pieces or leave it whole as you desire. Whole makes a dramatic presentation, cut is good for easy serving.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, crush the crackers and put into a bowl with the softened margarine. Stir with a fork until it all goes together and the crackers are coated, set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the miracle whip, salt, pepper, mustard,and milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring with a wire whisk. Boil for one minute, then add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Put the cauliflower in a 9x13 baking dish, pour the cheese sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle the cracker/butter mixture over the top, and then place the pan in the oven broiler for a few minutes until the topping is browned. Do not step away from the oven because this browns very quickly!
