CREAMY HAM AND "POTATO" CASSEROLE
2 pounds frozen cauliflower
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 ounces green onion, chopped, 1 bunch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
12 ounces ham, diced, about 2 cups
Paprika or Spicy Seasoning Salt for garnish
Cook the cauliflower until very tender; drain well. Roughly cut the florets into small pieces, but keep them a bit chunky. Put them in a greased 2 1/2-3 quart casserole with a lid. Blend in the cream cheese, then stir in the sour cream, green onion, salt, pepper, cheese and ham. Mix well. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Go easy on the salt because the ham is salty. Sprinkle the top with paprika or Spicy Seasoning Salt. Cover and bake at 350º for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 20 minutes until browned and bubbly.
