Give a baking dish a quick spray with nonstick spray and set it aside. Now chop your cauliflower into bite-sized pieces—not too big, not too small, just easy to eat. Toss the cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl with a tablespoon or two of water. Cover it up and microwave for about 5+ minutes just to soften it up. While that’s going, let’s make the cheese sauce. Grab a saucepan and set it over medium heat. Add in half of your colby, parmesan and cheddar, heavy cream, cream cheese, and your spices. Whisk it all together until it’s smooth, melty, and looking like liquid gold. You can add a little pepper if you want, but honestly—it’s pretty flavorful as is. Once the cauliflower’s done, drain off any extra water and transfer it to your baking dish. Pour that cheese sauce right over the top and mix it up so everything’s coated. Then finish it off with the rest of your cheddar and colby on top. Slide it into the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until it’s bubbly and nicely browned on top. I’d start checking it around the 30-minute mark since ovens can vary. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in—it’ll thicken up a bit as it sits. Store any leftovers in an airtight container, and yep, this one freezes really well too. #ketocasserole #ketocauliflower #ketocauliflowerbake #lowcarbcasserole #ketosidedish #ketorecipes #ketodiet #lowcarbrecipes #ketocomfortfood #ketomealprep #ketofriendly #ketolifestyle #healthycomfortfood #ketomacandcheese #lowcarbcauliflower
