Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole will become the favorite of veggie haters for sure. Kids and husbands will definitely ask for more! This makes a perfect holiday side dish as well.

Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole is what you are looking for if you have a cauliflower hater in your family. I’m saying this because I know it. No, it’s not my 20-month-old son who hates cauliflower. He loves all vegetables including cauliflower, spinach and even celeriac. My husband feels he is left out by his family when my precious son and I eat a vegetable dish heartily. Seeing something with cauliflower on the dinner table used to be one of his nightmares. Not any more! I found the cauliflower recipe even my husband loves and asks for.
