OK you may be getting the hint that I like caulilflower. But cauliflower rice, especially the pre-shredded, pre-frozen kind is SO easy. Here’s my recipe for cauli mac and cheese. This is one of my “Little Black Dress” meals. Meaning a meal I can make in 20 minutes on the fly and that it basically goes with any leftover protein – chicken, salmon, beans, jackfruit, even tofu. I also use the leftover cheese I have lying around from making the pizza so it rolls forward pretty easily into the next day!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Coat pan with Butter or ghee. Add defrosted cauliflower rice. On top of rice, add 1/2 of mozzarella and ricotta cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Then add another layer of mozzarella/swiss/whatever hard cheese on top and bake until golden brown on the edges. Easy, breezy, cheesy!
