We’re celebrating National Mac and Cheese Day around here, and so here’s a recipe for Big Boy Elroy’s better half Kelly’s “Mock and Cheese!”

Here’s the recipe!

Butter and olive oil in pan, sauté 1tsp minced garlic, add cream cheese and whisk until melted, add 2/3 or so of the cheese slowly, whisk to melt, add black pepper to taste, add about 1tbsp Dijon mustard. Keep whisking. I add just a pinch of nutmeg. Pour over cooked cauliflower in a casserole dish (I use the microwave steamed cauliflower and drain well). Mix to coat cauliflower, sprinkle rest of cheese and black pepper on top. Bake in 375 oven until bubbly. Then turn on broiler at the end to brown the top.
