OK, this recipe is totally off the beaten path for me. I mean unless you consider the loads of gorgeous cheese sauce. So yeah, maybe it’s not that much of a stretch… Anyway, the point is, it’s a veggie based dinner. Like a for-real Meatless Monday meal…AND it’s a low-carb situation, if you care about that kind of thing. I mean, I call this “Mac and Cheese”, but there is no “Mac” involved. I just thought “Cauli-Cheese” sounded a little like a foot disease, and kind of wanted avoid that. Still hungry? I would also like to point out that my kids DEVOURED this. The recipe is written to be a full meal, but you could easily half the recipe and use it as a side dish. Just grab 2 heads of cauliflower and clean and cut it up… The “smoky” part of the title comes from the Smoked Gouda that I used. You absolutely could sub this out for Cheddar, but the Smoked Gouda is SO super yummy, and melts like a dream… Just boil the cauliflower a little bit until it’s tender and drain it… While it’s cooking make a simple cheese sauce and then mix the cauliflower into the sauce. I transferred mine into a Dutch Oven, sprinkled MORE cheese on top and then baked it a bit… Simple. Enjoy!!
