Delicious, easy and cheesy Mashed Cauliflower is a great low carb alternative to mashed potatoes and if fixed properly you may even like them better. I actually find them much tastier than the spuds. I love to serve this with Beef Petite Shoulder with Pan Gravy, Pan Fried Chicken with Cream Gravy and Mississippi Pot Roast. It is the first of the year and everyone is jumping on the low carb and keto bandwagon. Why not go along for part of the ride as long as everything tastes yummy.
