Y’all know I’m southern. If there may be one staple consolation meals {that a} southerner will need to have that isn’t a grit, it’s baked macaroni and cheese. It is 100%, arms-down thought of a savory delicacy in southern tradition… and the macaroni half is completely out on keto.
Never worry!
With using cauliflower as an all-goal, low-carb utility vegetable, mac and cheese can type-of be on the desk once more.
Now, again within the day, I’d have used milk and flour to thicken, however in any other case this recipe is fairly darned near how I made my cheese sauce earlier than. The total course of is mainly the identical, with some strategic swaps, and the result’s what might be my daughter’s favourite dish of all time.
It’s southern child accepted, y’all. #ketomomwin
Notes: I like my mac and cheese tremendous sharp, however I simply listed cheddar because the ingredient, so you’ll be able to select how sharp or delicate you desire to your sauce and topping. Feel free to combine up cheeses, too. Adding some smoked Gouda to the combination is a pleasant change up, and is particularly pleasing to grownup palates.
