  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Steam cauliflower florets in a large pot filled with 1-inch of water until tender, about 5 minutes.

  8. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • If you want a finer texture to your casserole, give the cauliflower a few mashes with the potato masher after stirring it into the cream cheese mixture.
