Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole

Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole pairs crisp-tender florets with a tangy blend of sour cream and Cheddar, brightened by sweet bell peppers. A Parmesan and paprika topping bakes to a golden finish for a comforting, colorful side that’s great for family dinners or holiday tables. Expect rich, cheesy bites with a gentle crunch and subtle smokiness.

Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

  2. 2

    Place a steamer insert in a saucepan and add water to just below the steamer’s bottom. Bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower; cover and steam until slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, Cheddar cheese, cornflakes, bell peppers, and salt. Stir in the steamed cauliflower, then move the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and paprika.

  4. 4

    Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until heated through, 30 to 35 minutes.
