This Cauliflower Mac n Cheese recipe makes a plate full of cheesy, creamy and delicious keto and low carb Mac n cheese.
I’ve been thinking and with the options I’ve offered, like Green Chile & Bacon Mac n Cheese, Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese and Pimento Mac n Cheese with Bacon, it seems silly that I don’t just have a standard Cauliflower Mac n Cheese recipe that you can use as is or as the base for whatever your favorite add ins are!
So today I’m going to rectify that and here it is: Cauliflower Mac n Cheese, an easy low carb and keto macaroni and cheese recipe that is sure to satisfy you with all of it’s cheesy goodness.
I’m really in love with this recipe and I’ve served it to people who were hesitant but who all agreed that it was definitely delicious and that they didn’t need the noodles. So it’s a great idea if you’re trying to cut down the carbs or just get some more vegetables in your day.
I love serving this on the side of some Ribs or Tr-Tip or even just as a comforting meal when you need a little hug in a bowl. My mom used to make me Mac n Cheese as a kid when I was feeling blue or it was cold outside or I was stick so I always equate this meal as comfort and warm, for your body and a little for your soul too.
If you’re in need of a little soul warming food, or maybe just a delicious side dish, then you definitely want to add this to the repertoire.

Hello, I’m looking forward to making this recipe. What if I’m using a package of cauliflower rice? Do you have an idea of how many cups I’d use? I thought I could microwave it in 2 portions and squeeze out any moisture before adding the other ingredients. Thank you!
I’ve done that before and I would use 16 oz. which is typically a whole package! Best of luck 🙂 let me know how it turns out
