Baked Cauliflower Mac and Cheese with Smoked Sausage

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower pieces and boil for 4 minutes.

Step 3

While the cauliflower is cooking, chop the smoked sausage into thin rounds and brown in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Step 4

Drain the water from the cauliflower and return the pot to low heat.

Step 5

Add the cream, cream cheese, 1 cup of cheddar, monterey jack, and Cajun seasoning to the cauliflower and stir well until the cheese has melted fully, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Wipe out the skillet used to cook the sausage and add the cauliflower mixture to the skillet, along with the smoked sausage. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar.

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Step 9

Serve immediately.
