Cauliflower Casserole Recipe
Guys, this cauliflower casserole is amaaazing. The pictures don't do it justice!
The recipe comes from a family friend. After tasting it for the first time, we immediately asked for the recipe and it's been part of family tradition ever since.
With its slight curry flavor, it makes a unique addition to your dinner menu...like Thanksgiving dinner!
In case you need some more convincing to add this to your Thanksgiving meal, let me tell you a little more how great this is.
Last year I made it for Friendsgiving and it was a complete hit.
Even the non-cauliflower fans were gobbling it up!
The curry is so tantalizing...just adds a little something that makes you want to keep eating more.
Make Ahead Tip: since I was cooking for a large crowd, to make it easy on myself I made a double batch and baked it in the oven right inside my slow cooker crock (without the lid).
Then I popped the whole thing in the base where it stayed warm throughout lunch!
You'll want to bake the buttered corn flakes separate from the casserole so they stay crunchy the next day.
Toast on a baking sheet for a few minutes until golden brown, cool completely and store in an airtight container. Sprinkle on top before serving casserole.
