    Still trying to find a way to get my Cauliflower Mashed "potatoes" right for me. My wife LOVES them (I do most of the cooking)

    I .... tolerate them and would rather just steam the cauliflower and eat it that way. This recipe is a BIG help, I didn't think about adding onion and the healthy select cream of mushroom soup.

    Trying it with my spicy Turkey meatloaf next week.....

    I make a variation of Cauliflower mash as well.
    Cut up a head of cauliflower, boil in water and several cloves of garlic.
    Drain well, pour into blender and add 1Tablespoon fat free greek yogurt.
    salt and pepper to taste and blend until creamy.

    Love this.

    Lots of folks have their own version of this tasty dish but all the ones I've seen use sour cream or butter or some other higher calorie ingredient to get the creaminess needed to make it yummy.

    Here is how I make it (it's a favorite in our household):

    1) Boil a whole head of cauliflower together with 1/2 a chopped onion until the cauliflower is VERY soft.

    2) Drain thoroughly and mash with the back of a tablespoon until "chunky-smooth."

    3) Add any of the following (choose one-- each works well): 1/2 can of Campbell's Healthy Request Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup OR 1/2 can of Campbell's Condensed Cream of Celery Soup OR 3/4 cup of plain yogurt. Mix well with your trusty tablespoon.

    4) Heat in microwave until piping hot.

    5) Season to taste. I use "butter buds," garlic powder, salt/pepper, oregano, basil-- sometimes even chili powder. Use this opportunity to calm any craving you've got (salt, spicy, etc.) by adding it to the final dish.

    It serves 4 and is only 65 calories per serving.

    If you're starving and choose to eat 2 servings yourself I promise that you will be so stuffed you won't snack until your next meal.

    Let me know how you make out!

    I was surprised how much I loved them....
    My husband loved them too. **We waited until our 17 year old son ate them before telling him**:laugh: Because of the creamy consistency, (my fault for putting them in food processor) he gave them a 7/10, and would eat them again. Wants them thicker.
    I'm saving left over for a "super" soup tomorrow. And I will use them over Shepards Pie. I think it would be better than potatoes. Husband and son agreed!!

    Highly recommend not deviating from Chelle's recipe, This was delicious!! Thank you!!!

    Hooray! I'm glad they worked out for you! I find that if I drain them REALLY well and just mash them with a big slotted serving spoon they come out the best.

    Also, if I'm making them for company I use a whole can of cream of mushroom instead of a half. It's a lot of extra flavor and it's not really that many more calories on a per serving basis.
