Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Southern-Style Vegetarian Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and mash lightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed cauliflower with bell peppers, spinach, cream cheese, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.
  4. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to blend.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Pack down slightly.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
