  So good and so wonderful to be eating so few calories! I didn't add ham and used broccoli instead of cauliflower. I served this to my family today and everyone loved it. Thanks for such a great recipe! - 11/1/08

  I didn't have cauliflower so I subbed broccoli instead and added corn instead of ham. Delicious! - 2/1/11

  Good - next time I will double the cauliflower to stretch it out a bit, and maybe some garlic. Was great with a roll and a salad. - 1/7/10

  Simple, easy recipe, with every day ingredients. I actually used chopped, frozen onions, celery, & green peppers, along with potatoes, chopped bacon instead of ham, and the other ingredients. Very tasty! Wish I had some cauliflower available - would have been a nice touch. Love it though! - 8/18/10

  I read the comments about adding the parmesean cheese so that is what I did and it was delish... - 1/7/11

  Very very good! I just added on teaspoon of cornstarch to the margarine-flour-milk mixture to make it thicker and used broccoli. Turned out really nice! - 2/8/10

  I have made this probably 10 times now! I love it!!! Each time I make it though I play around with it by adding more cauliflower, adding broccoli, omitting the potatoes, chopping things big, chopping things small...every time it tastes just a little bit different but always GREAT. - 7/21/11

  Yummy! I added 1cp. corn, more onions, added parm. cheese, and decreased the cheddar by 1/2 cp. Added a clove of garlic and red pepper flakes. Very good on a cold day. I will try this with other veggie combos too. - 4/14/08

  I also used broccoli instead of cauliflower and added minced garlic to the veggies, then added mustard powder when I added the milk. Even using fat free milk this still was rich, creamy and really a 'comfort food' dinner! - 2/26/11

  This was fabulous! Added some dried mustard to the white sauce and swapped the onion for leeks as that was what I had. Successful with my picky eaters although it only did them 4 servings not 6. If 6 would need a bread roll or similar. - 2/24/11

  Made this last night, simple and delicious! Was a bit thicker than I expected so will thin it out a little by maybe adding a little more water. I only changed the milk by making it w/skim. Daughter said lacked seasoning; will try w/garlic as several suggested. - 2/8/11

  Very, very tasty just as is! I let the milk mixture thicken on low, whisking frequently, for about 15 minutes. Will try again with less potato and more cauliflower. - 2/3/11

  This was absolutely delicious. My whole family loved it. I do think it needed a little bit of seasoning though. I added some parsley. Next time I will probably add some other herbs, maybe some dill or thyme or something. I also think it would be great with broccoli and corn. - 3/19/08

  This was delicious. My hubby amde it for me and it was ready to go when I got home from work. Almost all the ingredients were already in the house so it was extremely convenient. He says its a sinch to make and thought we could also use turkey instead of ham sometime. I sent it to friends to try. - 1/10/08
