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!
- 2 packages Trader Joe’s Cauliflower rice
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, 2 slices swiss cheese (Option)
- Butter or Ghee
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!
