Yummmmm.
This is much better than the Atkins Mac and Cheese. Less carbs.

Try it using 1 cup bottled alfredo sauce(instead of the cream)and 1 cup mild cheddar cheese! It was really, really good

Would this work with frozen cauliflower, or does it have to be fresh?

Dottie · 05-23-2003, 05:43 AM

Otis: Thaw it then chop fine or grate -should work fine

notALLbad · 05-23-2003, 05:52 PM

I'll have to try this. Mockafoni and Cheese from somewhere here is my current favorite side dish. Even my non-lc company loves it!

Sherri63 · 05-24-2003, 01:15 AM

Can leftovers of this be frozen?

Kelzone · 05-24-2003, 09:43 AM

Made this last night. I put some cut up chicken breast into it. A new favorite! Thanks

If I use a bag of frozen cauliflower, I just thaw and drain it? I don't have to cook it at all first?
