This casserole is great as an alternative to a pasta heavy casserole. The chiles & tomatoes give it a nice kick, but if I make it again, I'm going to add onions, garlic & mushrooms. I couldn't find the cauliflower in cheese sauce, so I used plain frozen cauliflower and added about a cup of cheese. I think I may leave it out the next time.
