Keto Bacon Cauliflower “Mac” ‘N’ Cheese

Just because you're on a keto diet doesn't mean you should forsake all comfort food. This super indulgent mac 'n' cheese manages to stay low-carb thanks to one magical ingredient: cauliflower. Add bacon to the mix and you get the perfect dinner.

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon for 6 minutes, or until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, pat off excess grease with a paper towel, then chop and set aside.

2. 2

   Add the water to a medium pot and bring to a boil.

3. 3

   While the water heats up, chop the cauliflower into small pieces.

4. 4

   Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the cauliflower to the boiling water, then cover and cook for 4 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain the cauliflower and set aside.

5. 5

   In the same saucepan, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, remaining teaspoon of salt, the cayenne, and paprika. Stir to combine, then cook for 4 minutes, until smooth and thick.

6. 6

   Fold in the cauliflower, then add the cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted, then fold in the bacon.

7. 7

   Scoop into serving bowls and garnish with parsley.
