KETO CAULIFLOWER MAC & CHEESE - I could swim in this sauce, it's so good!

[@wannabehomestead]

I made this and ho-ly shit it is so good

[@KetoFocus]

I’m so glad you liked the recipe! 😃

[@randomanda]

I never would have guessed you could use almond flour to thicken a roux!

[@Chrissiedeep]

In the UK this is simply called cauliflower cheese and it’s a standard and popular dish. Generally served as a side with a roast dinner. There’s no association with it being a substitute for macaroni, which we rarely eat

[@txmap]

I'm from Texas, and this is how my mom usually served cauliflower and also broccoli when I was growing up. I don't make it very often, but it sounds really good after watching this video!

[@gregriley8548]

So do you guys substitute macaroni for the cauliflower on occasion?

[@Chrissiedeep]

@@gregriley8548 that’s just macaroni cheese 😃 we eat that too but less often for us

[@CannabrannaLammer]

​@@Chrissiedeepyeah we don't go so hard for mac and cheese as the Americans 😂 though Scotland seems to like it more. Cauliflower cheese is so good for roast dinner.

[@1-1-864]

Americans are so silly.

[@sarahwiegman9871]

Wonderful! Glad to hear they all liked it 😄

I love cauliflower so this is a double win for me! Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing😋

[@KetoFocus]

Perfect! You will love this recipe then ❤️

[@lindajones1900]

For something really special, bake in oven until bubbling & the cheese is brown…..👍🏼

[@carmijok1]

Looks so good. Love the combo of cheeses. I do think if you want to call it 'mac and cheese', the florets need to be cut down into smaller more uniform sizes. I've done this type of recipe for years and it just makes a difference. Plus it takes that cauliflower look away for those who think they hate cauliflower! Thanks for posting!

[@KetoFocus]

That’s true!

[@tasst2674]

Just made this recipe. Delicious! I only used half the cheese and half the salt as that was better for me. Thanks for sharing!

[@victoriagossani8523]

Gruyère is (close to) impossible to English speakers because is a combination of difficulties, the R, the U, the Y ( two I in combination with the U and the R after!) the R again. Then don't worry. I need to give you my very easy French recipe for cauliflower: cook the flowers on steam, al dente, pour it into a big bowl, crash it a little beat with a fork, in another bowl mix 250 or more of sour cream with a cup of fresh grated parmesan plus a pinch of salt, pour this on the cauliflower, gently mix it, pour in a backing dish and put it on the oven (180 degree) for 20 minutes. Very simple, easy and tasty. In France we traditionally make it with a béchamel gravy and sometime put eggs boiled cut in two in this gratin, I make it to with my recipe and then it's a complet meal. Give it a try please and let me know. Best regards.

[@sholubar0001]

Thank you for the idea! This looks amazingly good! Now I know what to do with the head of cauliflower sitting in my fridge! 😃👏

[@KetoFocus]

Perfect! Enjoy the recipe 😊

We are too lazy to eat cauliflower with real cheese but this looks so good. I might have to use real cheese next time. She made some yesterday. Its so good. She made two cauliflowers and added the nacho cheese to it.

Looking forward to making this. One thing on arrow root, if you use too much, it can make the consistency kinda slimy/stringy, just be careful with that.

For anyone wondering if you can use frozen cauliflower, yes just cook it following the package directions and drain it well. It was delicious! I thought it was a touch salty so I will reduce the salt next time.

[@ThriveWithLouise]

I love cauliflower anyway, especially fried I’m gonna try this

[@sistersauthorsfriendsincanada]

This looks amazing! Thank you so much for all your videos and recipes! I tried Keto once before about a year ago, and I think I focused too much on Keto desserts and/or special recipes like complicated pizza and pasta doughs, etc. It all just became too expensive to keep up with it, especially since I'm in Canada and a lot of the required ingredients (ie. Allulose) are only available in the US. This time I'm going to go more the 'meats and vegetables' route, and the occasional one-serving dessert treat (using the recipes I bookmarked from your site). I have to say, though, I don't understand this aversion to cauliflower I hear so much about. My whole family LOVES cauliflower! LoL Even though I'm the only one on Keto!

[@winterhughe5495]

This was so good! Though, I used shaved parmesan instead of gruyere.

[@andreablessedhope7416]

This is delicious. I used cheddar and Colby Jack cheeses.

Thanks for this. I was looking for a Keto Cheese Sauce recipe, to use with a variety of cooked Veg and also for Sunday Morning Eggs Benny replacement. Awesome. Luckily, I Love most vegetables, including Cauli, and made properly, Cauli mash is so close to mashed potatoes (unless you REALLY hate Cauli ).

[@RV-there-Yet]

Yummm...bet this would be really good w/that low carb gnocchi recipe that's making the rounds lately, the one made from 'chicken dough'. Mac & cheese is one of my husband's favorite foods ever, & he loves it in pretty much any form. Maybe I'll surprise him, & make it w/crispy roasted cauliflower- which he also loves, & is my favorite way to eat it too =) Thanks so much for inspiration~ love this channel for that! Also for the realization that almond flour can be used as a base for white sauce, which I had not considered~ AND gruyere & sharp together, which makes perfect sense too=) You're on it, as usual✨THANK YOU✨🙋‍♀️

[@angelicamalfavon5784]

Thanks for all your recipes !! For the Low carb Raspberry crumble, what can I use instead of 2 tsp of arrowroot powder?

[@sueforde5091]

Great recipe except I put in the 1 tspn salt which made it way too salty. I would advise people to leave the salt out and salt to taste individually

[@bethmuscat4570]

I don’t like the taste of cooked cauliflower, however I might try “cooking” smaller pieces (more macaroni-sized) either in the frying pan or oven to get the water out of it, which seems to take most of the cauliflower taste out of it…then add the cheese to it and stick it in the oven to get that crust on it. I’ve never tried pre-cooking it in the oven before, but the frying pan works well for cauliflower rice…

[@thereserivera7691]

I've read to add slice of lemon to cauliflower while steaming to tone the taste down even more for recipes. I will try that next time. I love cauliflower, anyway.

[@daviddabbs2474]

Downloaded because I am gonna make this and I'm wondering if it is even better or have you tried it with scalion and Crumbled up bacon and Sriracha

[@FlyFreely8272]

I believe I like that idea. Sounds good.

[@Canuckmom128]

I was thinking the same think (less the Sriracha). If you put it in an Oven Safe dish, sprinkled on some bacon, green onion and a little more grated cheese and popped it under the broiler for 2 or 3 minutes. Yum.

[@bee7549]

Not trolling here but this is not a sub for Mac and cheese...it is just cauliflower cheese...and if grilled then it's a gratin. There is zero macaroni in it which is a pasta. We don't need to 'trick' our brains into believing that is is pasta when it clearly isn't. It is a great and classic dish as is! Perhaps I am being keto grumpy but I am so tired of fake and trendy names for basic things...

[@KetoFocus]

Use keto macaroni noodles instead of cauliflower. Many don’t want to use those because they have gluten in them so cauliflower is the way to go. It’s the same thing as cauliflower cheese, which is a traditional British dish and therefore many in the UK call it that. On the keto diet, we have referred to it as cauliflower Mac and cheese for a decade to signal to those on a keto diet that it is a keto friendly substitute for Mac and cheese.

[@maryvaughn1951]

It's cauliflower and cheese -- call it what it is. There's no Mac in this.
