• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

5. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
6. Add the roasted cauliflower and chicken sausage to the skillet with the cheese sauce. Stir to combine everything well.
7. Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!
