This low-carb Ham "Mock Mac" and Cheese Casserole is from George Stella’s Good Carb Family Cookbook, but he's kindly shared it online and even on Facebook. It is amazing!! Seriously, whenever I need a cheese sauce for anything this will be my go to choice.

Cauliflower chunks take the place of macaroni, and thick chunks of diced ham make it a meaty meal. His recipe suggests the 8x8 inch pan makes 8 serves, which must be just using it as a side dish. With the ham in it, we treat it as a main meal, so we doubled it to get 4-6 serves. I'll give the original recipe below, but we doubled everything.

INGREDIENTS:

1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets and pieces (about 675g or 23 oz)
3⁄4 cup heavy cream
4 oz / 113g cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1 1⁄2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
1-1⁄2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, plus 1⁄2 cup more for topping the casserole
6 oz / 170g baked ham, cubed

METHOD:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cook the cauliflower in boiling, salted water for about 5 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain well, pat between layers of paper towels to dry and transfer to a greased baking dish.
3. Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan and whisk in the cream cheese, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic powder until smooth.
4. Stir in 1 1⁄2 cups of the cheese and whisk for just a minute until the cheese melts. Remove from the heat and pour into the casserole dish, covering the cauliflower.
5. Sprinkle the cubed ham over all, top with the remaining 1⁄2 cup cheese and bake for about 15 minutes until browned and bubbly hot. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Visit and Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Annas-Kitchen-1686376324950749/ .
