Cauliflower Casserole with Sausage and Ground Beef

[WeeOne]

I just wanted to share this recipe idea with y'all. I made it for dinner last night and DH asked if we were eating potatoes! I make the Twice Baked Faux potatoes about once a week and he loves them but this was the best.

I made my version of Faux Potatoes:

2 Bags Frozen Caul. boiled until soft and mashed
2 TBSP butter
1 Cup Cream Cheese (This is what thickened them up I think)
3/4 Cup Sour Cream
1 lb hamburger browned, grease drained
1 chub of Jimmy Dean sausage,browned, grease drained
Onion, Garlic, Spices etc. to tase

Mix all ingredients, pour into 8x10 casserole dish sprinkle with cheese (I used Colby Cheddar)
Bake at 350 unitl bubbley, about 30 minutes.

Serves 6 for a full meal, or 8 if having a salad.

I love doing one dish things and this was perfect!

That sounds great---just what I need in these COLD Minnesota days....this morning it was -22. Doesn't your body burn more calories trying to keep warm??? LOL ;)

I mash steamed cauliflower and brocolli together with heavy cream and butter instead of mashed potatoes.

YUM :yum: YUM :yum: & YUM :yum: !!!!

I made this for dinner last night and it was awesome. Sorry, I'm not one of those people that buy the "this mashed cauliflower tastes like potatoes" --I think it tastes like cauliflower...but this was great! I thought it tasted like stroganoff, but without the mushrooms. Must have been the sour cream in it.

I had 1/6th of it last nite for dinner and now I have lunches for the rest of the week for work!

Thanks for the great recipe!!

This sounds so good. Thanks for sharing!

[letsgo]

Can I just say comfort food!!!!????!!!!

[WeeOne]

I use the 28 or 32oz bags of cauliflower. Fred Meyer (Kroger) and Safeway each carry a different size in their store brand, so I use whatever I have.

Mushrooms would be good in this too!

Wee thank you for the recipe it was fabulous!!! I used some bacon and chorizo instead of sausage cause I didn't have any. It was delish!

Thanks again for sharing.:D

Just a tip...for those that don't like the cauliflower taste I found by adding a bit of Adobo all purpose seasoning..or a little garlic to the water while boiling helps mask some of the cauli flavor.:)

This sounds great, but what is a "chub" of J.D. Sausage?

Thanks.
