How to Make Cauliflower Casserole With Stuffing Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 large head of cauliflower (approximately 2 lbs) until tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until smooth.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  7. Pour the white sauce over the cooked cauliflower in a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
  8. **Topping:** In a separate bowl, prepare your favorite stuffing mix according to package directions, using the amount of water and butter specified on the box (typically around 1 cup water and 1/4 cup butter for a 6-oz box).
  9. Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the cauliflower and white sauce, pressing down gently to create an even layer.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
