I thought this was very odd. I’m an experienced cook with a wide range of appreciation for various foods and preparations but this recipe is going in the trash.

I made this once before and really enjoyed it! Just wondering if you've ever subbed Greek yogurt for the sour cream? I tend to have that on hand more often than sour cream. Thoughts on how that would be? Thanks for the interesting and delicious recipe!

I made this for dinner tonight and loved it. I forgot how great casseroles are!

Totally confused as to why you would make this dish with chicken broth when all the other ingredients are vegetarian. Yes, I can and I will easily substitute vegetable broth but again...why?

Hi Laura,
It's personal preference, like any recipe. I'm not vegetarian and I love the added depth that chicken broth brings to this recipe. Like the comment from Jennifer Wilson, she substituted vegetable broth to make it vegetarian. So that is basically what it comes down to for me, I just prefer the taste of chicken broth over vegetable broth.

Thanks for your comment. I am trying to make dishes for her to eat since I am not familiar with any vegetarian meals.

I make this regularly - it is sooo good. And I'm sure vegetable broth would not make it any less delicious.

My daughter-in-law is a vegetarian. So do you think I could use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth? Do you think it would taste good?

Any idea how many cups of cauliflower are needed?

Hi Michelle,
I just look for the biggest head of cauliflower I can find. So depending on that, you could get anywhere from 2-4 cups easily. I've never measured the cups, like I said, I just look for the biggest one I can find. Hope this helps!!

Really, really delicious - I now have a new love of cauliflower. Followed the recipe exactly and used panko breadcrumbs. Pairs well with peas. Will serve to company and wait for raves!

Will take your comments into consideration when I make it Mark Oviatt.
But I love tomato.

Came out really good. I will change 1 thing next time I cook this. Even though mustard goes well with cabbage anything, like fruit anything goes with pork anything, I will reduce the dry mustard in half to 1 tablespoon next time. BTW - The tomato slices were good but optional in my opinion.

Good to hear Mark. I tend to like bold flavor, so great suggestions for those that want to ease into it.

Can you please tell what you mean by "ground mustard"....mustard powder?
ashleychasesdinner

Correct, I just used 'ground mustard.' If I could figure out how to attach a picture of my jar, I would! It should be in the spice isle.

how long to cook the cauliflower?
ashleychasesdinner

AllyKrue, it doesn't take long when steaming in the broth. Check with a fork after 5 to 7 minutes and if it's the tenderness of your preference, then your good. If not, keeping a close eye until it's reached the tenderness you want. Enjoy!

I will try this but the ingredient list doesn't mention tomatoes, just sayin...but it sounds great.

Oh, I really wanted to like this dish and was excited to make it, especially since I had all of the ingredients on hand : )
But I found the flavor combination to be kind of strange. We kind of picked at it, but this one won't be a repeat for me.

I made the not-so-slimming version with 1.5 pounds of cauliflower and .5 pounds of pasta. Doubled the other ingredients as well and subbed Lea and Perrins' chicken marinade (a blonde version of worcestershire, I suppose). Delish.

what is powdered onion?

Hi Susan,
Powered onion can be found in the spice isle. But no need to go purchase, just cut an onion and chop finely.

Tried this recipe last night, and my husband and I didn't like it, but I think it was because I'm not a huge fan of worcestershire sauce, except as part of a steak marinade. I'm definitely going to try it again without worcestershire and maybe with a little extra sour cream and cheese! Thanks for sharing this recipe :)

This is outstanding. I added to dinner a dinner menu at the last minute after seeing Jenny's post. Deeeelicious. Leftovers are awesome, too.

Made it tonight and really really LOVED it!!!! I made a few changes due to poor planning on my part - I was missing a few of the ingredients - but I kept the soul of the recipe in place and I ended up eating the entire dish. Worst part? No left overs for tomorrow!
