Otherwise, it will water down the sauce and make the cauliflower and the sauce taste watery. Then - this is important - drain the cauliflower really, really well before you add it to the cheese sauce. I like to cook my cauliflower in the Instant Pot * for 3-10 minutes on steam, depending on how soft I want it. Start the cauliflower when the sauce is almost done.

If you want this thicker without having to cook it down for so long and make the cauliflower super soft, you can cook the sauce and the cauliflower separate.

If you like your cauliflower to be more firm, start the cream sauce first and let it get warmed up and going for a few minutes before you add the cauliflower.

It doesn't melt properly, falls apart, costs more, is harder to find, etc. Sharp has more flavor but it's really hard to work with. It seems to have a balance of enough flavor but being still easy to work with.

Cheddar cheese - I like to use a good quality medium.

But the real advantage as far as cooking with it is it doesn't curdle. It's not only better carb-wise but it's so nice and rice and creamy.

Heavy cream - I really do recommend using heavy cream and not using half and half or milk, etc.

Butter or bacon fat - really any sort of 'fat' will do but one with the most flavor is the best, especially since you don't use that much.

It's surprising how much of it you can eat when it's soft, creamy and smothered in a delicious cream sauce.

A whole head of cauliflower - this is the main body of your dish.

Plus, this helps me not to miss pasta so much. When I eat this stuff, I find myself eating tons of cauliflower, which is really good. I mean, I love veggies and I'm eating way more now than I used to, but I really get tired of the same vegetables over and over. One of the things that's great about this recipe is that it gets me to eat more veggies. Guess I'll have to post that recipe soon. I had that for dinner the other day and I LOVED it. Well, maybe except spicy butternut squash soup.
