    Recipe Introduction


    Note From Jackie:
    Since my son is not on a low carb diet, I followed suggestions I read in the
    reviews and added about another ounce of cream cheese to make the sauce
    thicker. I also put in some Monterey Jack cheese to make it cheesier.

    List of Ingredients




    Kosher salt, as needed, plus 1/2 tsp
    1 lg head cauliflower, cut into small florets [but not too small or it will be mushy]
    Vegetable oil spray
    1 c heavy cream
    2 oz cream cheese, cut into small pieces
    1-1/2 tsp Dijon mustard [important that you use Dijon for taste]
    1-1/2 c shredded sharp Cheddar, plus 1/2 c for topping the casserole
    1/3 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    1/8 tsp garlic powder

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring large pot of water to a boil; season with
    salt. Cook cauliflower in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 5 mins,
    do not overcook. Drain well and pat between several layers of paper towels
    to dry. Transfer cauliflower to baking dish that has been sprayed with
    vegetable oil spray; set aside.

    Bring the cream to a simmer in sm saucepan and whisk in the cream cheese and
    mustard until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese, salt, pepper and garlic
    and whisk just until the cheese melts, about 1-2 mins. Remove from heat,
    pour over cauliflower, and stir to combine. Top with remaining 1/2 c cheese
    and bake until browned and bubbly hot, about 15 mins. Serve. Total Fat:
