Cauliflower Casserole

CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE
1 head cauliflower, cut up; or,
1 pkg frozen cauliflower
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
½ tsp. salt
1 cup milk
1½ cups cheese
1/3 - ½ cup sour cream
1 pkg. diced ham; or,
1½ cups cubed ham

Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. (Or, do what I do: just cut up the pieces enough to stick into a steamer.) Steam cauliflower until mostly tender. Spray a baking dish. Melt butter in a saucepan, add flour and salt and stir together until bubbly. Pour in milk. Stir until mixture starts to thicken. Add cheese and sour cream, cook until cheese is melted. Place cooked cauliflower and ham in large mixing bowl. Pour cheese sauce over cauliflower and stir until it is all coated. Pour into baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30-45 minutes.

**If you are freezing it to eat later, use frozen cauliflower and do not cook it before coating it with the cheese sauce. Let it cool, then pour it into a gallon freezer zipper back. Freeze for up to four weeks. When you cook it, put it in the greased casserole dish, and bake at 350º for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
