MARTHA CAIN'S CAULIFLOWER
CASSEROLE
 
1 lg. head cauliflower
2 c. hot thin white sauce (recipe below)
1 c. shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 c. crushed corn flakes

Wash cauliflower and break into flowerets. Cook until tender-crisp in a small amount of water. Drain well and place in a shallow buttered baking dish.

Melt Cheddar cheese in hot white sauce. Pour evenly over cauliflower. Top with crushed corn flakes. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until bubbly.

THIN MEDIUM SAUCE FOR CAULIFLOWER:

1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. milk or stock

THICK MEDIUM SAUCE:

2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. milk or stock

Melt butter in stove or microwave. Stir in salt and flour and stir until smooth paste. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly. Place on top of stove and heat. Stir frequently until thick. Can add cheese after adding milk. Stir until cheese melts and sauce thickens.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
