How to Make Loaded Cauliflower (Mac) and Cheese
- Cheese Sauce: In nonstick pan, combine cream cheese, butter, milk, water, salt and white pepper. Whisk occasionally. Stir in Cheddar cheese until it melts and sauce is smooth. Add extra water if necessary 1 tablespoon at a time. ***Cheese sauce can be poured over cooked broccoli or cauliflower for a side dish. You can double the recipe very easily.
- Chop Cauliflower into smaller pieces, but not too small.
In large bowl, combine cauliflower and Cheese Sauce. Place mixture in 2 qt. shallow casserole dish. - Topping: In small bowl combine 2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese, bacon and parsley. Sprinkle over the top of the cauliflower.
- Bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes or until slightly browned and bubbly. You could put the casserole under the broiler for 2 minutes to brown the cauliflower a little more.
