Notes

  • Cauliflower: Use 1 large head. You can use frozen cauliflower as well. Add frozen cauliflower to the pot to save time - it defrosts quickly in hot water. Drain, cool, and chop if needed.

     

  • Meat: Ground beef or hamburger.
  • Stock made with a cube and hot water is fine.
  • Cheese: Cheddar, Gouda, or any cheese you like to use for making casseroles.
