In the UK this is simply called cauliflower cheese and it’s a standard and popular dish. Generally served as a side with a roast dinner. There’s no association with it being a substitute for macaroni, which we rarely eat
I'm from Texas, and this is how my mom usually served cauliflower and also broccoli when I was growing up. I don't make it very often, but it sounds really good after watching this video!
@@Chrissiedeepyeah we don't go so hard for mac and cheese as the Americans 😂 though Scotland seems to like it more. Cauliflower cheese is so good for roast dinner.
Looks so good. Love the combo of cheeses. I do think if you want to call it 'mac and cheese', the florets need to be cut down into smaller more uniform sizes. I've done this type of recipe for years and it just makes a difference. Plus it takes that cauliflower look away for those who think they hate cauliflower! Thanks for posting!
Oh my goodness. This is sooo yummy . Just made this for dinner. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. I added some onions and some habanero pepper. It is piping hot. I love it.
You don’t need any flour. I make it with some cream cheese, heavy cream and sharp cheddar, and I add hot sauce or what ever spices you want. Skip flours, it’s extra carbs,
Looking forward to making this. One thing on arrow root, if you use too much, it can make the consistency kinda slimy/stringy, just be careful with that.
Gruyère is (close to) impossible to English speakers because is a combination of difficulties, the R, the U, the Y ( two I in combination with the U and the R after!) the R again. Then don't worry. I need to give you my very easy French recipe for cauliflower: cook the flowers on steam, al dente, pour it into a big bowl, crash it a little beat with a fork, in another bowl mix 250 or more of sour cream with a cup of fresh grated parmesan plus a pinch of salt, pour this on the cauliflower, gently mix it, pour in a backing dish and put it on the oven (180 degree) for 20 minutes. Very simple, easy and tasty. In France we traditionally make it with a béchamel gravy and sometime put eggs boiled cut in two in this gratin, I make it to with my recipe and then it's a complet meal. Give it a try please and let me know. Best regards.
This looks amazing! Thank you so much for all your videos and recipes! I tried Keto once before about a year ago, and I think I focused too much on Keto desserts and/or special recipes like complicated pizza and pasta doughs, etc. It all just became too expensive to keep up with it, especially since I'm in Canada and a lot of the required ingredients (ie. Allulose) are only available in the US. This time I'm going to go more the 'meats and vegetables' route, and the occasional one-serving dessert treat (using the recipes I bookmarked from your site). I have to say, though, I don't understand this aversion to cauliflower I hear so much about. My whole family LOVES cauliflower! LoL Even though I'm the only one on Keto!
We are too lazy to eat cauliflower with real cheese but this looks so good. I might have to use real cheese next time. She made some yesterday. Its so good. She made two cauliflowers and added the nacho cheese to it.
I know this is got to taste really good! I like cauliflower a lot. I was wondering why the cheese sauce looked kind of pinkish. Maybe it’s due to the almond flour. Anyhow thanks for posting this keto recipe. It looks delicious.
@@KetoFocus After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last October, I have managed to loose 135 pounds on a Low carb whole foods ketogenic diet. Along with intermittent fasting and exercise. Your videos have truly made the changes easier. Me and my family thank you.
Thanks for this. I was looking for a Keto Cheese Sauce recipe, to use with a variety of cooked Veg and also for Sunday Morning Eggs Benny replacement. Awesome. Luckily, I Love most vegetables, including Cauli, and made properly, Cauli mash is so close to mashed potatoes (unless you REALLY hate Cauli ).
For anyone wondering if you can use frozen cauliflower, yes just cook it following the package directions and drain it well. It was delicious! I thought it was a touch salty so I will reduce the salt next time.
Yummm...bet this would be really good w/that low carb gnocchi recipe that's making the rounds lately, the one made from 'chicken dough'. Mac & cheese is one of my husband's favorite foods ever, & he loves it in pretty much any form. Maybe I'll surprise him, & make it w/crispy roasted cauliflower- which he also loves, & is my favorite way to eat it too =) Thanks so much for inspiration~ love this channel for that! Also for the realization that almond flour can be used as a base for white sauce, which I had not considered~ AND gruyere & sharp together, which makes perfect sense too=) You're on it, as usual✨THANK YOU✨🙋♀️
Can you bake this like baked mac and cheese. No bread crumbs just some pork grind crumbs on top. Or does the cauliflower burn? I'm not sure, I haven't made this before but looks promising!
I can make this alongside my regular baked Mac and cheese that I make for my sons with diced butcher ham off the shanks. Similar recipes except keto flours/thickeners. I agree the florets need to be smaller.
I was thinking the same think (less the Sriracha). If you put it in an Oven Safe dish, sprinkled on some bacon, green onion and a little more grated cheese and popped it under the broiler for 2 or 3 minutes. Yum.
That cheese sauce looks great. I want to make it and keep it in fridge/freezer to pour over cauliflower,broccoli, keto noodles, and just about anything else. Hummm 🤔 maybe even a little drizzle over a steak.
First off steamed cauliflower tastes like candy to me, and throw your ooey sauce on it, WHAT?!? It’s a party, in fact I’m bringing this to a potluck and know it’ll be a crowd pleaser, I’ll double the recipe and be the Hero, thank you!
I don’t like the taste of cooked cauliflower, however I might try “cooking” smaller pieces (more macaroni-sized) either in the frying pan or oven to get the water out of it, which seems to take most of the cauliflower taste out of it…then add the cheese to it and stick it in the oven to get that crust on it. I’ve never tried pre-cooking it in the oven before, but the frying pan works well for cauliflower rice…
I've read to add slice of lemon to cauliflower while steaming to tone the taste down even more for recipes. I will try that next time. I love cauliflower, anyway.
Hi! You just need to read the back of the carton... Some are 👌 ok, some are NOT!!!😉 I NEVER thought I would EVER read the labels on the back of items... Funny how Keto has changed my life for the BETTER!!!🍂🍁😂
I am new at Keto so I wonder what the macros are in this recipe and another thing that confuses me are serving sizes. If the recipe is not written example 2 cups = 1 serving then I'm lost 🙄
All of the macro information is in the description box. I usually have serving size in there too if not, all that information is in the website www.ketofocus.com/recipes/cauliflower-mac-and-cheese/
I want to say to those who say cauliflower is gross-grow up 😂 unless you're a 4 year old I don't get it haha, most of kids like cauliflower anyways...just kidding but really, all food and veg is good, it's just about finding the right way to make it ☺️
@@KetoFocus that’s about all the meat I get. Not casserole but I make crockpot stew with leftover pork chicken or ground beef. I add onions cabbage mushrooms zucchini etc. I just know not much meat in it. I used to really like pork chops but now they’re all so dry. No fat on them.
@@maxchodos7256 thank you for this!! My daughter is Vegan and is always on the hunt for meals that provide 'meat nutrients'. She loves the smell of meat cooking, but hates the taste. 🤷🏻♀️ LOL
Not trolling here but this is not a sub for Mac and cheese...it is just cauliflower cheese...and if grilled then it's a gratin. There is zero macaroni in it which is a pasta. We don't need to 'trick' our brains into believing that is is pasta when it clearly isn't. It is a great and classic dish as is! Perhaps I am being keto grumpy but I am so tired of fake and trendy names for basic things...
Use keto macaroni noodles instead of cauliflower. Many don’t want to use those because they have gluten in them so cauliflower is the way to go. It’s the same thing as cauliflower cheese, which is a traditional British dish and therefore many in the UK call it that. On the keto diet, we have referred to it as cauliflower Mac and cheese for a decade to signal to those on a keto diet that it is a keto friendly substitute for Mac and cheese.
I made this and ho-ly shit it is so good
I’m so glad you liked the recipe! 😃
I love cauliflower so this is a double win for me! Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing😋
Perfect! You will love this recipe then ❤️
In the UK this is simply called cauliflower cheese and it’s a standard and popular dish. Generally served as a side with a roast dinner. There’s no association with it being a substitute for macaroni, which we rarely eat
I'm from Texas, and this is how my mom usually served cauliflower and also broccoli when I was growing up. I don't make it very often, but it sounds really good after watching this video!
So do you guys substitute macaroni for the cauliflower on occasion?
@@gregriley8548 that’s just macaroni cheese 😃 we eat that too but less often for us
@@Chrissiedeepyeah we don't go so hard for mac and cheese as the Americans 😂 though Scotland seems to like it more. Cauliflower cheese is so good for roast dinner.
Americans are so silly.
I never would have guessed you could use almond flour to thicken a roux!
I have made this two times this week and my husband loves it!
Made this tonight for me and my family scarfed it. It’s a new official ‘side dish’ for them. A main entree for me!!!
Wonderful! Glad to hear they all liked it 😄
*Thanks for sharing this amazing keto-friendly recipe!*
I've made other versions of cauliflower mac n cheese before. I'm loving your take on it. I can't wait to try it. 😋
Looks so good. Love the combo of cheeses. I do think if you want to call it 'mac and cheese', the florets need to be cut down into smaller more uniform sizes.

That’s true!
Looks yummy. Thank you for sharing., Have a great rest of your Saturday.
Just made this recipe. Delicious! I only used half the cheese and half the salt as that was better for me. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the idea! This looks amazingly good! Now I know what to do with the head of cauliflower sitting in my fridge! 😃👏
Perfect! Enjoy the recipe 😊
For something really special, bake in oven until bubbling & the cheese is brown…..👍🏼
Oh my goodness. This is sooo yummy . Just made this for dinner. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. I added some onions and some habanero pepper. It is piping hot. I love it.
Yours sounds sooo good. Love spicy food
Omg this was delicious!! Thank you
I love cauliflower anyway, especially fried I’m gonna try this
Thankyou Thankyou so much! I made this just now for my one year old daughter for tomorrows dinner. Tonight she is getting beef tacos on soft tortillas

Can I use coconut milk instead of heavy cream?

How many cups approximately is 1 lb of cauliflower? Thanks
Hello. I enjoy watching your videos. Do you have a cookbook? I like to have a book on hand, when I plan meals.
Thanks for all your recipes !!
For the Low carb Raspberry crumble, what can I use instead of 2 tsp of arrowroot powder?
Thou I have to try my hubby not a cauliflower fan but I like it
Looks Awesome! 😋

Looks great
Downloaded because I am gonna make this and I'm wondering if it is even better or have you tried it with scalion and Crumbled up bacon and Sriracha
I believe I like that idea. Sounds good.
I was thinking the same think (less the Sriracha). If you put it in an Oven Safe dish, sprinkled on some bacon, green onion and a little more grated cheese and popped it under the broiler for 2 or 3 minutes. Yum.
Can you take the almond flour?
Look so amazing recipe
Thank you! Enjoy the recipe ❤️

Looks tasty.
Will frozen cauliflower florettes work
That cheese sauce looks great. I want to make it and keep it in fridge/freezer to pour over cauliflower,broccoli, keto noodles, and just about anything else. Hummm 🤔 maybe even a little drizzle over a steak.
Yes! It would pair with so many things! I’ll have to try it on steak. That sounds so good!
Holy fuck this is good

add a sprinkle of nutmeg to.your sauce.
Great recipe except I put in the 1 tspn salt which made it way too salty. I would advise people to leave the salt out and salt to taste individually
Can you use the nacho cheese recipe of yours on cauliflower instead?
Why wouldn't you be able to?
Yes! It should work!
Can you do a Keto version of Beechers Mac and Cheese? I tried making it keto and the sauce was runny.
My sauce was runny with this recipe. The taste was good though.
gruyere>>gooyay
I just watched the video by keto doctor Ken D Berry where he mentions that most nut milks are full of hidden sugar
Hi! You just need to read the back of the carton... Some are 👌 ok, some are NOT!!!😉

Just check the label. Make sure it's unsweetened original

Don't forget the buffalo saiuce!
Have you tried this with you sodium citrate cheese sauce?
I am new at Keto so I wonder what the macros are in this recipe and another thing that confuses me are serving sizes. If the recipe is not written example 2 cups = 1 serving then I'm lost 🙄
All of the macro information is in the description box. I usually have serving size in there too if not, all that information is in the website www.ketofocus.com/recipes/cauliflower-mac-and-cheese/
So basically, Cauliflower Cheese ... We eat this a lot in UK
Looks like our tastes good, but it looked grainy when it was poured over the cauliflower.
Tastes great, but it was runny. It was a mix between "mac and cheese" and soup.
😎
But the sauce looks so grainy. This is why I hate almond flour. How many carbs can really be in a little bit of regular flour
12g in 2 Tbsp!!!
My sauce was not creamy? Could I have put in too much cheese?
My sauce wasn't thick.
I want to say to those who say cauliflower is gross-grow up 😂 unless you're a 4 year old I don't get it haha, most of kids like cauliflower anyways...just kidding but really, all food and veg is good, it's just about finding the right way to make it ☺️
Exactly!! I think a lot of people aren’t cooking it right or trying the right recipes.
😁🖖✌👌👍😎
Your making me fat just looking at how good it looks
I love cauliflower. My problem is meat. I know I need more protein but I hate the taste of meat. All meat. Help
Have you tried the keto protein powder to help maybe get more protein
Check out Heavenly Fan on TH-cam. She's a Keto Vegan and has great recipes.
What about if you mix the meat in with something to make a stir fry or casserole?

Nope no flour please
Not keto friendly
Wrong, the almond flower has 6 net carbs for this entire recipe - which is absolutely keto friendly.
It's cauliflower and cheese -- call it what it is. There's no Mac in this.
