Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon Smokey Rebel UK Hickory Hog Pork Seasoning Rub
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the cauliflower florets. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender, then drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, cooking until the sauce thickens. Add in the grated cheese and Smokey Rebel seasoning, stirring until the cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the cauliflower with the cheese sauce, then pour into a baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs and additional cheese if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly. Garnish with parsley before serving.
