Enjoy this inventive twist on classic mac and cheese where tender cauliflower florets replace traditional pasta. The dish is enhanced with a rich, sharp cheddar sauce and a protein boost from Greek yogurt and turkey bacon, offering a creamy, flavorful, and satisfying meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups cauliflower florets (approx. 210g)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (56g)
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (125g)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (60g)
1 slice turkey bacon (25g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender but not mushy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess water.
While the cauliflower is steaming, crisp the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Chop into small pieces once cooled slightly.
In a small saucepan, combine the shredded sharp cheddar, Greek yogurt, and unsweetened almond milk over low heat. Stir constantly until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the steamed cauliflower in a baking dish. Pour the cheddar sauce evenly over the cauliflower and sprinkle the chopped turkey bacon on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until bubbly and heated through.
Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed, comforting dish!
