Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

This low-carb side dish is quick and easy to make using frozen cauliflower.

30 oz frozen cauliflower florets or cauliflower rice or 2 heads of cauliflower 

2 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup sour cream

2 TBS butter softened, more to taste

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp onion powder or garlic powder

Cook frozen cauliflower following the directions on the package. Thoroughly drain.

Place cooked cauliflower in a large bowl (if steamed in the microwave) or return to the pot (if boiled on the stovetop).  Add cream cheese, sour cream, butter, salt, pepper and onion powder and puree with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.  You may also put this in a food processor if you do not have an immersion blender.  For a less smooth consistency, use a potato masher or hand mixer.

Remove to serving dish, garnish if desired.  Salt and pepper to taste.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This also may be frozen up to 3 months.  Microwave from frozen or defrost overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat in the microwave or stovetop.

Serves 6
