Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Boil cauliflower florets in a large pot of salted water for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain well and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw taste of the flour is gone.
• Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook while stirring until the sauce thickens.
• Add 1 and 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir until cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
• Combine cooked cauliflower with prepared cheese sauce in a large bowl. Transfer mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs over the top of the cauliflower mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
• Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
