Keto Cauliflower Jalapeno “Mac n Cheese”

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower

4 oz cream cheese (softened & cubed)

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or cheese blend

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 slices bacon, cooked & chopped (reserve grease)

1 diced jalapeno

2 Tbsp warm water (if needed)

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

salt and pepper

  1. Rinse and chop cauliflower. In a microwave-safe bowl cover cauliflower with cellophane cook 8 mins. Carefully remove and pull cellophane back to bent cauliflower after steaming in the microwave.
  2. Cook bacon. Remove from pan. Add butter to bacon grease and saute jalapenos, 2-3 mins. Add cream cheese until melted. Add heavy cream, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper, red pepper flakes if desired, and about 1/3 of the chopped cooked bacon. Once combined pour over cauliflower. (If it’s too thick add the 2 Tbsp warm water to thin)
  3. Top with rest of bacon, chives, parsley, or desired toppings.
