Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Casserole


 I've been obsessed with cauliflower as a substitute for pasta and have been experimenting with some recipes I've found around the interweb.  I haven't tried this one yet but am excited to give it a whirl.  I've tried others and have made a few changes to the recipe, such as adding tuna to it dubbing it "Tuna Cauli Casserole.  When hubby likes it I know I've scored.

Some other changes I've made is to bypass the steaming of the cauliflower, it seems to be too mushy for my tastes.  I just put the cauliflower into the baking dish, add the other ingredients prepared per the recipe and bake it a little longer.  It turned out great.

Original Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Casserole Recipe from George Stella’s "Still Livin’ Low Carb" cookbook. When I first came up with this recipe as a way to appease Christian’s love for Macaroni and Cheese, I had no idea it would go on to become one of my most popular recipes of all time. In fact, it’s the 4th highest rated cauliflower recipe (out of over 300) on Food Network’s website. Oh, and by the way, the number 1 cauliflower recipe on their site is my recipe for Cauliflower Mock Mashed Potatoes! Get 4 complete George Stella Low Carb cookbooks can be found following this link.

Low Carb Mac & Cheese with Cauliflower

I made low carb mac & cheese with cauliflower using a recipe from Grass Fed Girl,s website.  It didn't turn out quite like hers but it was still great tasting.  I believe I forgot to put it under the broiler as stated in the recipe.  When I make it again I'll remember to broil it.  Hop on over to her site by following this link.  What was especially awesome was that my DH liked it and even had seconds.

Happy Carbing
