How to Make Cauliflower Cheese Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 1 large head of cauliflower into florets.
  3. Steam cauliflower florets for 10-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  4. While cauliflower steams, prepare the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
  5. Pour the cheese sauce over the steamed cauliflower in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Top with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
