This Cauliflower and Cheese Casserole is a wonderful addition and side dish to serve at any meal. Pair it with a roast beef, juicy chicken or even a leg of lamb, no matter what you choose, the match up just works.

To make Cauliflower and Cheese Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small amount of water, boil or steam cauliflower for about 6-8 minutes until soft and tender. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 °F and grease a 2-quart baking dish with oil or butter.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter.
Add flour and stir well to combine until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Gradually add the milk, and continue cooking and stirring until sauce is thickened and bubbling.
Add mustard and cheese and continue cooking, while stirring until cheese is melted.
Pour sauce over drained cauliflower and gently mix to blend. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
In a small mixing bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parsley, paprika and 2 tablespoons butter until well combined. Sprinkle topping over the cauliflower cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until casserole is bubbling and the topping is browned and golden.
