I have never been a big cauli-fan, but these are actually very good!
Also, on Lowcarbfriends.com, there is a faux-potato recipe with cauli and keto - Ketato mix, that may be a little better texture and enhanced flavor.


JUST LIKE STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
16 ounce package frozen cauliflower *
8 ounce cream cheese with chives
8 ounce shredded cheddar
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 pieces bacon, chopped and fried until crisp
Paprika, optional

Cook the cauliflower until soft, about 8-10 minutes; drain very well and break up florets a bit with a spoon (it's also very good if the cauliflower is still a little chunky). Put in a greased 8 x 8" baking pan or 2-quart casserole. Mix in the cream cheese, cheddar, green onion, salt, pepper and bacon. Dust top with paprika, if desired. Bake at 350º for 20-40 minutes, until browned and bubbly. Or, microwave, loosely covered, for about 40 minutes on 50% power, turning dish after 20 minutes.

Makes 6 servings (5.5 carbs each)

* You can use up to 2 pounds of cauliflower and there will still be plenty of sauce and cheese to go around. With 2 pounds of cauliflower the count would be - 12 servings (4.5 carbs each).

that recipe Richt posted is the best one ever. We eat it regularly.
My very thin hubby loves it.

That recipe sounds amazing! I love lots of pepper, cream cheese, garlic, onion, and sour cream in my Mock Mash.

It is good and I discovered something else recently. I have a magic bullet which I really don't think is all that spectacular but I was going to try to make Cauliflower mash with it the other day well it made more of a "soup/gravy" consistancy. I don't know if it's because I haven't had creamed gravy in so long but I swear thats exactly what it reminded me of. I put it on top of the meat I was eating. Of course it was doctored with the butter,pepper, cream)

Sheila I've tried some of the recipes you've posted on your site before too. I love them and I am in the area of Texas where a lot of your pix were taken.

Re: mashed cauliflower "potatoes"

Yes I watched the same infomercial and it makes it sound like the perfect item. I mean it works but it DOES not work like they say for one. It shows them just tapping the top to make stuff. I usually have to shake the **** out of mine to get everything close enough to the blade to make it work. lol

I have made smoothies and chicken salad (both good). I think I use it a lot more now that I'm low carbing. It is decent I suppose it's a lot easier than dragging out a huge processor which I also own. If you look it up on a search engine I know there is mention of all the people that have problems with theirs I just found it after I got mine. But luckily mine was a christmas gift from the hubby.

Re: mashed cauliflower "potatoes"

I make mine just by steaming the florettes 8-10 minutes. Cut them up small beforehand, so they steam evenly.
After draining, I pour them into a bowl with lots of butter, salt, and pepper. I mash them with a potato masher. That's it.
When you reach the dairy rung, you can add a dollop of sour cream.
