Made You Look! It’s Cheesy Baked Cauliflower “Mac and Cheese”

Who doesn’t like creamy, cheesy, bowl of mac and cheese? Well, when I discovered my gluten-intolerance, traditional mac and cheese went out the window.

Thankfully, a wide variety of gluten-free pastas exists to substitute for pastas made from wheat or flour. What if you’re doing a keto or low-carb diet? Or maybe you just need a simple, healthy dinner recipe.

Well, that’s where my simply delicious baked cauliflower mac and cheese recipe comes in handy AND it’s only 5 INGREDIENTS!

5 ingredient Baked Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 large egg

• 2 12 oz bags of frozen cauliflower florets OR 4 cups of fresh cauliflower florets

• ¾ cup of sour cream

• 2 tbsp of melted butter

• 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese

*Add salt, garlic powder, and pepper to taste

For pasta version:

• Substitute cauliflower for 2 cups of elbow macaroni ( You can use gluten free, whole grain , or regular)

Put It All Together

1. Preheat oven to 350 F

2. Put cauliflower florets into a microwave safe bowl, salt to taste. (I like using fine sea salt , but table salt works)

4. Put cauliflower into a 9- inch round or an 8 x 8 square pan.
