Notes

 
I've made this yummy casserole with and without cauliflower and it is good either way. I would however avoid using the cauliflower crumbles in this recipe as the smaller pieces of cauliflower give the dish a bit of a grainy texture. My recommendations are to keep the cauliflower florets in small bite size pieces or skip the cauliflower altogether if preferred. I like to add the cauliflower however to add another vegetable and therefore more fiber to the dish. The flavors of the vegetables blend well together and none of them overpower the flavor of this side dish.
The recipe could be made with light Alfredo sauce to reduce the fat and calories.
Happy cooking!!
