Description
A creamy, cheesy dish that satisfies cravings for comfort food while incorporating more vegetables into your meals. Perfect for busy weeknight dinners!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 head cauliflower, riced or 12 oz bag frozen riced cauliflower
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- If using a whole head of cauliflower, pulse the florets in a food processor until they are rice-sized. If using pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and most moisture has evaporated.
- Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to season the cauliflower.
- Reduce the heat to low, then add the cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is melted and creamy.
- Remove from heat, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
For added texture, consider including cooked bacon or sautéed onions. Adjust heaviness of cream as desired.
