Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook: Roughly chop 1 large head cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, setting your steamer basket over it. Add cauliflower to the basket, cover, and let steam for about 10 minutes, or until cauliflower is fork-tender.Alternatively, you can microwave the cauliflower (in a covered bowl for 5 to 7 minutes) or boil the cauliflower (in a large pot of water for 5 mintues).
  2. Stir: Remove from heat and pour the water out of the pot then add the steamed cauliflower, 8 oz block cheddar cheese (shredded), 4 oz cream cheese, 1 tsp dijon mustard, and ½ tsp salt, stirring until the hot cauliflower has fully melted the cheese. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Happy eating!

Notes

  • For a melty browned top, transfer cooked cauliflower macaroni and cheese to a baking dish. Sprinkle with a bit more cheddar and broil in the oven for just a few minutes, until cheese has melted and is golden brown.
