5. Get rid of the water from the cauliflower, you will be using this pot for the cream sauce.

6. Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in the pot. Whisk in cream cheese and Dijon mustard until melted and combined. Add in salt and pepper, and 1 and ½ cup of the shredded cheddar. Stir until melted.

7. Pour the cauliflower from the baking pan into the pot with the cheese sauce and combine.

8. Pour the mixture into the baking pan.

Bake for 15 minutes

 *I like something crunchy on a baked mac & cheese. I had some sweet potato chips that I crushed up and used on top instead of using breadcrumbs. Works well 😊

**I also cut up 4 carrot sticks and boiled along with the cauliflower. Super good addition.
