Cauliflower Cheese

[hammerman]

Want to do a one pot, cauli cheese dish for dinner tonight.

Apart from cauliflower, what works with it. Was thinking of adding some crispy bacon, onions, mushrooms, peas, maybe a few prawns ?

Any suggestions ?

Broccoli.

I wouldn't add prawns, especially with the cheese, bleurgh!

[ummmm]

I'd go with broccoli and bacon. I'd leave the rest out though.

Definitely broccoli and bacon. Then leave it alone.

I'd go the bacon, onions, peas and add julienne carrots and sweat corn kernels, for a bit of colour.

What's the difference between broccoli and snot?

You can't make kids eat broccoli ;-)

Err make that "sweet", wouldn't want certain aromas in the meal.

We just have Cauliflower cheese with jacket potatoes and nothing else.

Ha ha lozzy!!

[Ric.ror]

Maybe a few chopped nuts for texture!

Definitely crispy smoked bacon! I put mine on top with sliced tomatoes and sprinkle the lot with grated cheese before oven-baking. The other really great taste to go with it is peppered, smoked mackerel - just peel skin off mackerel fillets (supermarket bought, already cooked) break them into pieces and tuck in and amongst the cauli before adding the cheese sauce. Brill!

I've just started making a cauliflower and macaroni cheese, it's yum. Also often put some peas in the mix too. On one make of this dish, I chucked in some left over cooked broccoli right at the end and it was lovely. Chox.
