Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower (Alternative to Mashed Potatoes)

1 whole or (1 bag frozen) cauliflower
1/4 cup cream cheese
2-3tablespoons soft butter
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
salt/pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

how2:
if your using fresh cauliflower steam or boil in shallow water until cooked, strain set aside.
once its cooked add it to a food processor or blender. In the picture I used a hand blender.
pulse until it becomes chopped finely.
add to the cauliflower cream cheese and 1/2 butter save about 1 tablespoon for the top. also add salt,pepper and garlic powder.
blend until creamy it will look like mashed potatoes.
place in a baking dish or pan. add remaining butter scatter it around the top.
Sprinkle with parm cheese. or add a bit of butter.

TIP: you can also top with more cheese and place into a baking dish broil until it becomes brown and bubbly.for best results work with the cauliflower when its still hot it allows it to blend better.
ENJOY!
