Cheddar and Sour Cream Mashed Cauliflower

Mashed cauliflower is just as good or possibly better than mashed potatoes. Since it doesn’t fill you up as much as real potatoes do, you can eat far more of it in one sitting. And it’s up to you how to add the flavor.

This mashed cauliflower recipe is so good that I even ate the leftovers for breakfast the next day. And it’s hearty enough to rival any mashed potato recipe.
