Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding sautéed onions or garlic to the cauliflower mixture. You can substitute the cream of corn soup with a homemade corn puree for a fresher taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. This dish works well with frozen broccoli or mixed vegetables if cauliflower isn't available.
