How do you keep cauliflower cheese from being watery?

Online Answer
A watery cauliflower cheese can always be blamed on two things – over cooking the cauliflower and/or not draining the cooked cauliflower properly. I prefer to steam the cauliflower – it might take a little bit longer, but it prevents the watery sauce issue so I think it's worth it.
