I love simple recipes like this one because it only takes a few ingredients to make. I have served this as a comforting side dish and it is a great alternative to mashed potatoes.

Cheese - I love to use Cheddar cheese for this recipe. 

Onion- I prefer white onion, but green onion works well too.

This recipe makes a wonderful hot and cheesy side dish or even a lunch idea. The cheddar cheese nestles in the nooks and crannies of the cauliflower florets and it all comes together in minutes on the stove.

This Easy Cheesy Cauliflower is not only delicious it is only two WW freestyle points per serving!

How to Cook Cauliflower

You can make cauliflower many ways, and on most nights, I like to cook it on the stove in a large pot of boiling water. I just add a little salt and lemon to the water.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
