Three Cheese Cauliflower Casserole


Three Cheese Cauliflower Casserole



This is a delicious casserole and a great way to sneak in a veggie on the kids. Cauliflower is lower in carbohydrates and higher in fiber than potatoes or rice.



1 large head of cauliflower
½ stick butter
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 c. parmesan cheese
1 c. cottage cheese
1 c. heavy cream
six slices American cheese



Cut the cauliflower into florets and then steam it on the stove over high heat for five to seven minutes. If the cauliflower breaks off easily when poked with a fork it is done. Transfer the cauliflower to a large mixing bowl; add the butter salt and pepper. With a mixer, mash the cauliflower on low speed until is broken down and has a smooth texture. Add the parmesan, garlic, cottage cheese, and the cream. Blend the mixture on low until is smooth, then transfer it to a large baking dish. Lay slices of American cheese over the top. Bake in the oven for one hour at three hundred and fifty degrees. Allow to cool for ten minutes before serving. Enjoy.

You usually see them outside at night and they will fly right at your face. They don’t infest because they are native and they can’t survive in our AC temps. 2.Every public indoor place will always be frigid. Most of your friend’s houses will be as well. I take a sweater with me almost everywhere that I go, and if I forget to I regret it. 3.Outside of weather emergencies, weathermen are superfluous. In the rainy season, which is most of the time, there is an eighty percent chance of rain, every single day. The weather man has no idea what time it will rain, how hard, or for how long, and there is no way for him to predict it. You just have to go out there with your fingers cr…
