I have only made this once but I ABSOLUTELY love it. I've never been a fan of cauliflower but I decided to try it in this recipe and I could barely notice! My 2 year old obviously loved it (lol) but my 19 year old sister and her friend both tried it and they had no clue that it wasn't mashed potatoes!

(I doubled and used 2% milk instead of heavy cream, extra lean beef, fat free cream cheese, fat free cheddar cheese and added green beans and corn)

original size was 118 calories per serving and servings were half the size but I cut down a lot with using reduced fat and milk instead of heavy cream so I was able to add the corn and green beans and double the portion size to make it 240 calories a serving
