Cheese Sauce:
1.5 C Cheddar Cheese
3/4 C Heavy Whipping Cream
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Salt and pepper

Melt ingredients together in a large sauce pot on low heat.

The Keto Dad Tips and Tricks:

If you’re going to add more to it (like meat) or like your mac extra cheesy, add another 1/4 C of heavy cream and 1/2 C cheese!
No need to blanch or pre-cook the cauliflower. We cook it raw in the dish!
Mix in the cheddar cheese slowly so it doesn’t clump
