Baked Cauliflower Mac and Cheese with Smoked Sausage
Ingredients:
16 ounces cauliflower chopped into macaroni sized pieces
14 ounces smoked sausage
ΒΌ cup heavy cream
2 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese divided
1/3 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower pieces and boil for 4 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, chop the smoked sausage into thin rounds and brown in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Drain the water from the cauliflower and return the pot to low heat.
Add the cream, cream cheese, 1 cup of cheddar, Monterey jack, and Cajun seasoning to the cauliflower and stir well until the cheese has melted fully, about 3 minutes.
Wipe out the skillet used to cook the sausage and add the cauliflower mixture to the skillet, along with the smoked sausage. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar.
Bake for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Serve immediately.
