I can't remember where I found this recipe, but I finally tried it and thought it was really good. Notice there is cauliflower instead of some sort of starch. It was great, can't wait for lunch(left overs tomorrow)
next time I would:
*add A LOT more seasoning!!! much more!
*more cheese too!!! yum yum
*use the whole head of cauliflower (oh and maybe? grate it next time, you see in the picture I just chopped it into chunks.

Transfer to a large oven proof dish and to with the cheese. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, until cheese is brown and bubbling.
