Cauliflower replaces the potatoes in this comforting casserole, which I’ve been making for 30 years. Whenever we have leftover ham, my husband asks me to make this dish. —Sue Herlund, White Bear Lake, Minnesota

This would be a lovely dish to serve for Easter. Have made it a couple times, and will continue, but seemingly forgot about it.

Definately a keeper. I added a 1/2 tsp Bavarian seasoning (by Penzeys with crushed brown mustard, rosemary, garlic, thyme, bay leaves & sage) to heighten the flavor. We loved it.

I get requests for this recipe all the time. Even a friend of mine who swears she hates cauliflower goes back for seconds. I use fresh mushrooms and saute it in a little olive oil and butter instead of canned for better flavor. I add salt and pepper as it is not even listed in the ingredients. The salt content comes from the ham mostly so I'm surprised to read the reviews of others. My mom is on a salt restricted diet and even she gobbles this casserole up. This is a favorite of my house and I will continue making it for years to come!

Nice and creamy. Bread crumb topping gave it a nice crunch.

This is a good recipe if you need to use ham leftovers. I read a review saying it was too salty but I disagreed. I think it could have used a little in the sauce. I will make again.

This is delicious! I was very happy with the results, it is fast & easy to assemble and makes a great meal served with a fruit salad.

I would make it again because my husband adored it, and it was an easy way to get vegetables into my boys! It was good, but not fabulous. Considering leaving the ham out and making it as a side dish, I think it would be much better then!
