This baked cauliflower mac and cheese is the answer to all of your food cravings because it's diet-friendly! Rich, creamy, and oh so cheesy, you have to try this tonight!
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cauliflower to the boiling water and allow to cook for 5-6 minutes.
Remove cauliflower and place it in a bowl filled with ice water.
In a large-size saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring.
Whisk in milk, continue to cook over medium/low heat while whisking until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Mix cauliflower with cheese sauce and add to casserole baking dish.
Top cauliflower with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly. I broil the top for the last 2 minutes.
