EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Look in the frozen-food case for bags of frozen chopped onions. Keep them on hand for fuss-free chopped onion.

American cheese can be purchased in bulk at most supermarket delis. Simply ask them to cut off the size chunk you desire, and either chop or shred it before adding to the milk mixture.

To help with last-minute details on Thanksgiving Day, have the cauliflower washed and cut into florets, chop the onion and have the cheese cut into pieces. You can even mix the bread crumbs and butter together and store covered in a small bowl.

My family loved this recipe-we did change it to use extra sharp cheddar becuase we always have it on hand and never have American cheese!

Oh my gosh! I was given a 5 lb head of cauliflower & was looking for a recipe I could use a bunch of it. All my husband could say was "this is so good". He had 3 helpings & said this is one to add to the rotation! I expect my son to eat 1/2 of what's left when he gets home! Don't think there'll be much leftover for tomorrow's lunch!
