Swiss Cheesy Cauliflower image

This is a family favorite way to prepare cauliflower! The creamy cheese sauce adds great flavor to this vegetable. Cheddar cheese can also be substituted in place of the Swiss.Update: 12/26/2008 when we made this again we used a few extra ingredients - nutmeg, crushed red pepper flakes & instead of garlic powder I had some left over roasted garlic and we added that as well, it added that exra zing that I thought it needed!l ;)

Overall, this recipe was a bit disappointing. I think I would have liked it better if I had made some changes to the recipe.

The cauliflower was a bit too roasted for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had roasted it for a bit less time.

The cheese sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a bit more milk or if I had thinned it out with some cornstarch.

This recipe was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less cheese or if I had used a milder cheese, like a mozzarella.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cauliflower came out mushy. I think I would have liked it better if I had roasted the cauliflower for a bit less time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a stronger cheese, like a sharp cheddar. I also think it would have been better if I had roasted the cauliflower for a bit longer.

This dish was easy to make and absolutely delicious. I used sharp cheddar cheese, which gave the sauce a nice kick. I also added some diced ham and peas to the cauliflower, which made it even more flavorful. Highly recommend!
