Cheesy Steamed Cauliflower
Easy to make and deliciously tangy, this cheesy steamed cauliflower makes a perfect side dish!
When it comes to cooking and baking, I’m the queen of easy {no, seriously, I’ve got a crown to prove it}. That’s just one of the things I love about this steamed cauliflower. I also love the spicy, tangy flavors of the ground mustard and Miracle Whip.
It goes great with chicken, pork or even beef – basically anything! The fact that it’s covered with gooey cheese is a total bonus. I learned how to make this dish several years ago when Mark and I were having dinner at an acquaintance’s house. She made it a little differently, and I wasn’t keen on her method, so, I changed it up a bit.
A little steaming, a little baking, and you’ll have this side dish on the table in about 20 minutes.

I was daydreaming while reading your recipe, about making a shepherds pie style Cauliflower. Rubbing the head with all natural sweet cream butter lightly salted, lightly rolled in Garlic & Onion bread crumbs. Then I snapped out of it, and went downstairs and made your recipe minus the MW and mustard. As this was to be but one side dish of our dinner.
