Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp paprika
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam them in a large pot until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and cream cheese, stirring frequently until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese to the cream mixture, stirring until melted and combined.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the steamed cauliflower to the cheese sauce, stirring gently to coat all the florets evenly with the sauce.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious, keto-friendly mac n cheese!
