Cheesy Mash Cauliflower

Submitted by: MOMMYBUTTERFLY

Introduction

This is a great low-cal alternative to mash potatoes. Surprisingly I think it tastes similar to the point you won't miss them even! Cauliflower with cream cheese & cheddar cheese to top. A great side dish! This is a great low-cal alternative to mash potatoes. Surprisingly I think it tastes similar to the point you won't miss them even!

    Delicious! I used Laughing Cow garlic & herb cheese instead of cream cheese and still got the creaminess. I'll definitely be making this again. - 9/8/10

    Very tasty, but I found neither the blender or food processor were adequate. I think mashing and mixing like potatoes would probably be better. I'll definitely be making it again. - 4/1/13

    This is amazing! I used reduced fat garden vegetable flavor cream cheese, and used a potato masher and left the cauliflower chunky. The lauching cow cheese sounds good, will try that next time! - 11/3/12

    Really disliked it. Actually, this is the first SparkRecipe I have been dissatisfied with. My taste buds must be different from the other raters. This tasted neither like cauliflower nor mashed potatoes. :( - 10/17/12

    Very good. Only change next time would be to use Velveeta rather than shredded for more smoothness. - 3/11/12

    AHHHHH...MAZING! This was so good I almost felt like I shouldn't have been eating it!I did add the Garlic as my husband and I LOVE Garlic but would be super tasty without it. It was a little mushy next time will dry with paper towel before blending. I would eat this as a meal it's THAT good! - 1/6/12

    My duaghter and I love this. I used only 1/4 cup of reduced fat cheddar cheese to save some calories and it was still delicious. I also omitted the paprika because I wasnt sure my daughter would like it. Very good! - 3/6/10

    Thanks for this recipe! My husband and I (both cauliflower haters) loved this. I knew I would but he wasn't sure. Then he told me he would eat this instead of mashed potatoes anytime. I used a 16oz size bag of frozen cauliflower but kept all other ingredients the same. - 1/31/10

    This was so good! My husband is a meat and potatoes kind-of-guy and he said this dish might not replace mashed potatoes, but it was an excellent alternative! I only had Fat Free cheddar cheese on hand so I used that, but it was awesome! - 1/21/10
