Cheesy Cauli Mashed

I’ve said this before, but I’m so glad that cauliflower is so versatile! I’ve made street corn, mashed potatoes, sushi, grits and many other cauliflower dishes! It’s such a wonderful vegetable that you can build a meal from, just like a potato. Often times, I forget that I’m eating a vegetable when I make cauliflower mashed! I hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as I enjoyed making it.
