Cauliflower Sausage Casserole is one of my favorite family midweek meals. I can make it ahead of time and then I simply cook it in the oven when we get home from whichever activity is on the day. It means I can have a delicious, filling dinner on the table in only 20 minutes.
To make this, start by frying little sausage meatballs. Quickly cook potato cubes and cauliflower chunks and spread these three ingredients out in a casserole dish. Make a simple white sauce and pour it over the veggies in the dish. Bake in the oven for a simple and tasty midweek meal.
To make my Cauliflower Sausage Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F and set aside a 9x13 inch or 8x8 inch casserole dish.
Make little sausage balls by squeezing the meat from each sausage casing. Fry the sausage balls in a hot pan. Once cooked, spread the meatballs out in the casserole dish.
Peel the potatoes. Cut each one into small cubes and place them in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add the potato cubes to the casserole dish.
Chop the cauliflower into small chunks. Place the pieces in boiling salted water and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the water and save it for later. Add the cooked cauliflower to the casserole dish with the potatoes and sausages.
Place the butter in a saucepan and melt it over medium heat. Add the flour and stir well. Pour in two ladles of the reserved water. Whisk the roux until it start to boil. Add the milk and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Bring the sauce to a boil.
Pour the sauce over the ingredients in the casserole dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Serve warm.
