Mock Mac and Cheese

My husband makes fun of me all of the time because I don't care for mac and cheese.  Apparently that is "un-American" of me.  One thing I do enjoy is homemade macaroni and cheese, like my friend Donna Himebauch makes for family dinners.

Because my husband loves the good ole' American treat, I decided to try and make a low carb version. I found this recipe on Pinterest and altered it by a smidgen. It doesn't taste like the boxed stuff, so if that's what your looking for move on. However it does have the warm cheesy goodness of the homemade version I love.

1 bag of frozen cauliflower
8oz. Cream cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 tbs. Dijon mustard
sprinkle of  garlic powder (if that's your thing)

Preheat oven to 350

Place the cauliflower in a microwaveable dish for 5 minutes. Remove and stir. If needed place back in microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Chop up cream cheese and place into a saucepan. Begin to melt and add garlic powder.    Once melted whisk in whipping cream, mustard, and 1/2 the cheese. Stir until melted and blended together.

Chop up cauliflower if desired. Pour into small baking dish. Stir in cheese mixture until well blended. Top with rest of cheese.

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
