This Cheesy Macaroni Cauliflower Bake is so easy to make. It’s a healthy spin on my #1 favorite – macaroni and cheese. This recipe was inspired by one on another blog, along with maybe another I found online. Measurements are approximate, when given. This made about four to five servings.

This cheesy cauliflower bake is not only a good source of protein and carbohydrates but it’s also tasty. I like that it’s easy to make and stores well for a leftover. You could even freeze it for later if you want. It doesn’t take long to make or cook it either.

In Summary

The ingredients are common and should be easily found at the grocery store as well. I have made this for our preschool daughter and she has liked it and other times refused it, pretty common for her age group.

    We don’t like cauliflower and I’m always looking for recipes to hide it. Pinning this to my must-try board.
