Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cored and cleaned
- ½ small pumpkin, without seeds and stringy part
- 3 TBSP butter
- 3 TBSP flour
- 6 oz milk
- 4 oz sour cream
- 1 tsp mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4-6 oz cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions
- In a large pot with a steamer basket, steam the vegetables until the pumpkin is very soft but the cauliflower is cooked but not mushy. Set aside
- In a sauce pot, melt butter over low-medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together. Cook for about 1 minute. While constantly stirring, slowly add a bit of milk. Continue adding more milk while stirring to prevent lumps from forming. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more milk. Turn off the heat and add the sour cream and mustard. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- In a cast iron skillet melt a little bit of butter. Add the cauliflower florets and saute them briefly. With a spoon, scoop the pumpkin right out of the skin into the skillet. Pour the sauce evenly over the cauliflower and pumpkin. Spread the grated cheese on top. Bake the casserole at 375˚F for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden-brown and starting to bubble.
Notes
- you can substitute other vegetables for the cauliflower or pumpkin
