• 1-1 1/2 tsp. Southwestern Seasoning Mix
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

3. Meanwhile, in another small bowl, combine mayonnaise and seasoning mix. Remove Casserole from microwave. Drain water. Coat top and side of cauliflower with mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle cheese, pressing lightly so that cheese sticks to the mixture.

4. Place Casserole 2-3 in. from heating element, broil 2-3 min. or until cheese is lightly browned. Remove Casserole from oven. Slice into wedges or mash and mix to desired consistency.

Note: Can substitute Buffalo Rub or 2 tsp. hot sauce and 1/3 cup blue cheese for cheddar cheese.
