Ingredients

  • 12 oz Frozen Cauliflower Rice
  • 2 Tbsp 28g Light Butter, I used Land O' Lakes
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 C 125g Whole Kernel Corn, drained
  • 1/4 C 60g Beef Gravy, from a jar
  • 1/4 C 28g Reduced Fat Shredded Cheddar
  • 16 pieces Spicy Popcorn Chicken or your choice of popcorn chicken

Instructions

  • Microwave the cauliflower rice for 4-5 minutes and drain any remaining liquid before adding to a food processor or blender with the butter and black pepper. 
  • Blend until smooth like mashed potatoes. You may be able to accomplish this with a masher or really fine whisk, but it will take some work. 
  • Open a can of corn and drain any liquid before microwaving 1/2 cup for 60-90 seconds or until warm. Measure the beef gravy and microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warm. 
  • Add half the mashed cauliflower to a bowl before adding half the corn, gravy, and 8 pieces of popcorn chicken. Sprinkle half the shredded cheddar and repeat for the second bowl. 

Notes

Each bowl has 6 Smart Points.
If you'd like to replace the butter, coconut oil or just about any fat source will work. 

Looking for cauliflower alternatives? Give these a try for your mashed fauxtatoes:

  • Butternut squash or winter squash purees 
  • Parsnips or other tubers 
  • Mix real potatoes with cauliflower fauxtatoes. You'll never know they're there.
