Need a side dish that thakes no time?

WOW moms you are going to love this!

I got this recipe from Sandra Lee Semi Homemade . It is SUPPER FAST and SUPPER EASY(My Favorite). I don’t have a picture of it because it diapered just as fast as it took me to make it. Here is how it goes:

1 can cheese soup. Any brand would work.
1 0r 2 handfuls of shredded Cheese (I love lots of cheese)
1 regular size bag of frozen cauliflower
About ½ cup of bread crumbs (eye ball it)
Some Extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste

Put the all the everything in a microwave safe, and oven safe container except bread crumbs and olive oil(no need to mix yet). Place a damp paper towel over the container and micro wave until everything is nice and warm and gooey.

Mix everything together and then place the bread crumbs in a small bowl and add just a little bit of the olive oil to it. Combine the two together and sprinkle on top of the dish. Place the entire thing in the broiler for a minute or two(just until the bread crumbs get nice and crunchy. And Presto You have a amazing side for your dinner. It took me longer to type this recipe up then it did to make it.

TIPS & TRICK

On this day I did not have the bag of frozen Cauliflower, the can of cheese soup, or the bread crumbs. I did how ever have frozen broccoli thanks to Kroger’s 10 for 10 sale almost a month ago ( I was all stalked up). I did have cream of chicken soup I had also stalked up on this a few weeks ago when Walgreens had a sale on cream of chicken and cream of mushroom, and I had coupons so I think I paid like 25 cents a can. I did not have bread crumbs, but I did have Pan co Bread crumbs. I used what I had on hand to substitute for what I didn’t and it was still Yum.
If you don’t have everything a recipe calls for. Look in your pantry see what you do have that can make a good substitute. Sometimes you have to think outside the box. It will save you a trip to the grocery store that is not needed. Which will save you time and gas.
