Notes

  • Substitute margarine for butter, if desired.  The butter is divided into two steps, one stick for the sauce, and one stick for the cracker crumbs. 
  • Light sour cream can be used for regular, full-fat sour cream, if desired.
  • To make this super easy, start with a bag of frozen, cauliflower florets that have been thawed.
  • Bread crumbs, crushed cornflakes or any other casserole topping could be substituted for crushed crackers.
  • I prefer to use Ritz or generic Ritz for the cracker crumbs, but you can use whatever crackers you have on hand, if you would like.
