Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray.

Drain the macaroni, and then return it to the pot and keep warm.

Combine the cauliflower, milk, cheeses, sour cream, mustard, salt, pepper, egg whites and peas in a large bowl and mix well. Stir the mixture into the warm macaroni, letting the residual heat combine the pasta and sauce.

Pour into the casserole dish and evenly sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top. Bake until the filling is hot and the top is golden, 35 to 40 minutes.

    This is my 2nd time making this, my family & I loved it!! We call it "Veggie Mac Casserole" bc as others have said, it's not at all like a true mac & cheese, but it's still delicious. I checked out the other reviews before making it & added a cup of chicken broth to it & it worked out great; I could see how it could be dry if you didn't. I also added a little extra cheddar cheese to the top it off along with the breadcrumbs. Lastly, we love garlic in everything so I added a little powdered garlic to it which turned out to be a good addition. Enjoy!

    If you called it something else, it wouldn't be as much of a let down. Albeit a great contender, I agree with alittlelove23 to add more liquid. In my opinion, a cream of mushroom soup or cheddar cheese soup and extra half cup of chicken broth could adjust the missed texture.without increasing too many more calories or fat. Classics are tough to beat, but the broth and soup might make a difference!
