This dish gets rave reviews every time I serve it to anyone. And it's so easy to throw together. But watch out......it can be addictive! LOL

mmmm, sounds awesome!!!!

I haven't made it in a little while but plan on having it again tonight. Smoked Gouda is my all-time fav snack cheese so I always have some of that around. I buy a big old block at SAMS so I don't ever run out. LOL

I added a picture to my recipe post after baking it for dinner, if you want to check it out.

Full Recipe:

This is a modification of Dana Carpender’s cauliflower recipe in 500 Low-Carb Recipes. I served it to my brother who was an executive chef at one time and he raved about it. If you like smoked gouda cheese you should try this!

INGREDIENTS:

1 medium large head cauliflower
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 oz. smoked Gouda cheese, grated
¼ tsp. coarse black pepper
Dash salt
Optional: chopped chives or green onion to top

DIRECTIONS:

Cut up cauliflower into manageable pieces and boil until tender. Drain and mash slightly with a fork. Stir in softened cream cheese. Grease glass casserole dish and spoon half the cauliflower mixture in. Sprinkle with half the grated smoked Gouda. Spoon remaining cauliflower into dish and top with rest of Gouda cheese. Sprinkle with salt. Sometimes I add some chopped chives or green onion to the top, but this is not in the nutritional info below. Bake at 350º for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly.

Whenever I see a recipe with smoked gouda I get so confounded.

The only smoked gouda I can ever find these days is highly highly processed and basically won't even melt. Where are you folks finding it?

Mmmmmmmm, nice time of year to be thinking of this one.
thanks!
sounds delicious and hearty.

My favorite cheese!!! I love you!! Thanks so much for posting this. I usually just eat the cheese straight up but this sounds awesome!! Thanks again!

Gwynne, I buy mine at Sam's. It melts fine for me when grated down inside a casserole like this. But I admit, it's a little less inclined to totally melt when left on top of the casserole, exposed to the dry-oven air.

Glad you liked it QB! Easy dish, huh? But I do hope you'll try it again one day with the smoked gouda, as that's what sets this dish truly apart from all the other cheesy cauliflower casserole recipes out there.

i'm on top of this for Tday vegetable!

Have made this twice before,love,love ,love it,will be on my Thanksgiving day menu!!!.....Glo

I think I will be making this for Turkey Day too!

Glad you like is as much as we do, Glorooster. And hope you other folks enjoy it, too. It's going on my Thanksgiving table this year, too.
