Low Carb Ham Mac and Cheese Casserole Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 13

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:
Cooking oil spray
Kosher salt for water
1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets and pieces
3 ⁄4 cup heavy cream
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1 1⁄2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 ⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1⁄2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, plus 1⁄2 cup more for topping the casserole
6 ounces baked ham, cubed
8 x 8 inch oven-proof casserole dish

Steps:

  • Place the rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 375°F Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Spray the casserole dish with cooking oil. Cook the cauliflower in the boiling water for about 5 minutes until crisp yet tender. Drain well, pat between layers of paper towels to dry and transfer to the baking dish. Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan and whisk in the cream cheese, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic until smooth. Stir in 1 1⁄2 cups of the cheese and whisk for just a minute until the cheese melts. Remove from the heat and pour into the casserole dish, covering the cauliflower. Sprinkle the cubed ham over all, top with the remaining 1⁄2 cup cheese and bake for about 15 minutes until browned and bubbly hot. Let cool for about 5 minutes and serve. George's Tips: Although I suggest using the leftovers from a ham dinner to make this casserole, packages of fully cooked, cubed ham are available in the meat department of grocery stores sold above the baked hams.

I'm not a fan of cauliflower, but this casserole was really good. The cauliflower was cooked perfectly, and it wasn't too overpowering.

This recipe was a disaster! The cauliflower was mushy, and the cheese sauce was too thick. I don't recommend this recipe.
