Keto Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

 

Ingredients

• 1 large head of cauliflower
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Before you get started, gather all your ingredients to make it easier cooking in the kitchen. Get started by preheating the oven to 375 degrees and then prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.

Cut a head of cauliflower into florets. Steam or boil for approximately 5 minutes, until they are still crunchy but tender. Strain the cauliflower and put it in your baking dish and then add salt and pepper to taste.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add heavy whipping cream and bring it to a simmering boil. Whisk in garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.

Add cream cheese and stir until smooth, and then add cheddar cheese. Sprinkle in mozzarella cheese and stir until cheese sauce thickens.

Pour the cheese sauce over the top of the cauliflower in the baking dish and stir to coat the cauliflower in the cheese sauce. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top of the cauliflower.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture is browned on top and bubbly. For a more browned appearance, cook in broiler for the lat few minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
