CAULIFLOWER RICE MAC AND CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower and boil until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and place into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
• Blend together Cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a bowl; beat with an electric blender until smooth.
• Spoon blended mixture over cauliflower and stir until cauliflower is completely coated.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Add cauliflower during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
• Reduce heat to medium and add oil to the pasta pot. Add onion, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, just until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in pasta-cauliflower mixture, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, and Dijon mustard. Transfer mixture to a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with parsley before serving.
