Mom's Awesome Cauliflower

This is a recipe from my mother, I'm not really sure where she got the recipe, but it's amazing. I didn't like this growing up; but what kid likes that many vegetables?

Needed Ingredients:
  • One head of cauliflower
  • 2-3 tbsp chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard (I use 2 because I like mustard)
  • 1/2 c. miracle whip (I use light, I guess it doesn't matter though.)
  • 1/4+ c. shredded cheese. Usually cheddar or colby is best. Amount of cheese depends on taste
Trim cauliflower head and rinse, do not shake off excess water, this will help when cooking it. Place in a very large microwavable dish and cover. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the cauliflower head and power of the microwave, just make sure it it is cooked. Mix the mustard, miracle whip and chopped onions. Spread mixture onto cooked cauliflower and sprinkle on shredded cheese. Microwave another 1 1/2- 2 min uncovered to melt cheese.

Someday I would like to figure out how to adjust this recipe to make in a conventional instead of a microwave oven.
