Cheesy Ham & Cauliflower Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 lb cooked ham, cut in 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup fire- roasted sweet peppers, chopped
1 (16 ounce) jar ragu double cheddar cheese sauce
4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Cut cauliflower into 1/2-inch pieces; steam or microwave until just tender. Drain in a colander and set aside.
Saute onion and cubed ham in butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until onions are translucent.
Stir in cheese sauce, fire-roasted peppers, and chipotle pepper and reduce heat to medium-low.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is heated through.
Add about half of the shredded cheddar and stir until melted. Repeat with the remaining cheddar.
Add salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste.
Add cooked cauliflower to sauce and stir gently to distribute sauce evenly.
Pour into a buttered casserole dish and bake at 350\u00b0F for about 20 minutes or until bubbly.
