If you consider yourself a macaroni and cheese fan, get ready to take your mac n cheese game to the next level. This quick and simple recipe will get a healthy helping of mac and cheese on your plate in less than 20 minutes and will undoubtedly be the best mac and cheese, healthy or not, that you’ve ever had.
I’ve seen mac n cheese baked, with crunchy onion ring topping, creamy, thick, you name it! My favorite mac n cheese has always been the kind with the thick and creamy perfect combination sauce. NEVER baked, always cheddar and with a sharp salt-and-pepper seasoning.
I am more than pleased with how this recipe turned out. It had my kids asking for “MORE please!” Who doesn’t want their kiddos asking for more cauliflower??
Best EVER Keto Mac N Cheese
4-6 cups cauliflower rice
2+2 Tbsp divided
salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream (full fat)
1 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
On medium, melt the first 2 Tbsp of butter and then add the cauliflower rice and cook for 4-5 minutes until aldente. Set aside while you start the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the other 2 Tbsp of butter and then add the cream and sour cream. Bring to a simmer on medium, then add the cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk frequently until the cheese has melted and the sauce is a consistent orange color. Pour over the cauliflower rice and stir well. Allow to settle down for about 3-5 minutes and during this time it will thicken. Serve and enjoy!
