Cauliflower cheese

Was always happy enough with it on its own as a main meal but now I have young adults living with me they look askance if there is nothing else. Sometimes a few sausages or a few quickly grilled slices of prosciutto do the trick. Delicious!

If we're having it as the main meal, we add a tin of drained tomatoes and a tin of tuna to the bottom of the pyrex bowl before putting the cauliflower and cheese sauce on top. Cauli, Tuna Cheese, mmm, I feel hungry!

I remember making this for a boyfriend, well one of my fiancés actually (don’t ask ?), and serving it, lovely cheesy topping, with potatoes and his disappointment that he wasn’t getting meat with it.
It was a main meal in our house and still is. I like it with crusty home made bread but the family love it best with roast potatoes.

Sometimes as a main on its own (with bread and butter), sometimes with cumberland sausage! Not very often though as my DH doesn't eat either cauliflower or cheese.
I did it for a friend once and she said she had no idea that you could book a whole cauliflower (she'd only ever had florets).

I’ve only had it as a side dish. My DH and I like it with breaded chicken or fish and another veg. I could eat it as a main with some other veg.

Stands alone here. Delicious too.

Definitely a main dish here, with very cheesy sauce topped off with more cheese and bread crumbs. A great mainstay if any vegetarians come to eat.

I would quite happily eat cauliflower cheese every day, either on its own or as an accompaniment . DH can’t even look at it but he’s funny with cheese sauces .

Anja that sounds yummy.

I have it as a side dish, one of the other vegetables.

Its not something I make. My husband doesn't like cauliflower. I would have a small amount maybe with baked potato. I imagine it's not very healthy to eat in large amounts.

A main dish for us too. Cauliflower and leek cheese, one of my favourites. Sometimes with crispy roast potatoes other times a baguette.

M and S sell it with broccoli and we buy it sometimes and it is very good for two. When I need it in larger amounts I make it myself.

I am veggie and often eat this, I have a friend who always asks, 'aren't you having anything with it?', I say 'No' this is the meal in itself.

I use vintage Gouda and Dijon mustard in the sauce.

We have it as a main dish here in Scotland sometimes top with breadcrumbs and extra cheese. I also had cheesy mash as a main dish when growing up and macaroni cheese both served with lots of beetroot.

When I was young and lived in Scotland my Mother served it as a main course with crusty bread. I think that's fine but my DH likes some meat with his.

A meal on its own, made with very strong cheese and served with a salad and crusty bread. Just love it, in fact I shall make one for tomorrow.

We'd have it as a main, but I think probably some sautee potatoes or similar as well, as otherwise it may be a little short of filling carbs.

I would expect to have other food as well as cauliflower cheese to me it's only the veg part

It’s usually a main for us too but I would probably add peas and carrots to go with the cauliflower cheese dish. My eldest DD’s OH serves it as a side with Sunday lunch. We are all southerners

Usually main dish here, occasionally as a side. Sometimes use broccolli as well. Quite like few breadcrumbs on the top too. Will try flaked almonds. That sounds good.

No eat it as it is with some bacon or ham added.

We usually have it as a side dish or on its own. If on its own, I put an egg or two in the sauce and extra cheese on top.

Cauliflower cheese and jacket potato with peas here. Yum - nice and cheesy, please.

A meal in itself for me, lovely and hearty
