    Personally, I would try a blend of different cheeses. While I do like cheddar, too much cheddar tends to have quite the oil development (BLEH!)... I like a good blend of parmesan, fontina, provolone and aged asiago... mmmmmmmm

    That recipe looks AWESOME.. I mean hell - its got bacon!

    I made a variation of this that had chopped pickles and no cauliflower or egg. I really like it, the boyfriend just thought it was just ok.

    I also mixed a little yellow mustard into the meat to give it some tang.

    I will try this. I have made a similar one with potatoes for years, never have thought about swapping for cauliflower.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Throw in some more veggies, put the cauliflower on top and Bob's your uncle. :tongue: Just the thing for the coming cold winter nights.

    I might make this in individual serving dishes to freeze. Would be a great warm lunch! Definitely going to add mustard and pickles though!
