Cauliflower 'Mac' & Cheese

Another low-carb friendly post! Haven't done one of these in a while!!

Ingredients:

3/4 of a Large head of cauliflower - cut into florets

3/4 C heavy cream
4 tbsp sour cream
2 oz. cream cheese
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 C Gruyere or other hard cheese (shredded)
2 C shredded cheddar cheese

Bring a pot of water to a boil, and drop in cauliflower.  Boil for 5-7 minutes.  Drain well.

(one website I read even suggested patting it dry with paper towel - I didn't, and mine was a little runnier than I would have liked)

In a small saucepan, combine all 'cream's, mustard and seasonings.  Stir constantly for about 4 minutes, or until the ingredients have melted together and begin to bubble.  Add the 1/2 C of Gruyere and 1 C of cheddar cheese and melt together in sauce.

Put cauliflower in an 8x8 pan, and cover with cheese sauce.  Sprinkle over the remaining cheddar cheese, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 or so minutes.  Let cool, and serve.
