This started out as an attempt to satisfy the Boss Lady's taste for cauliflower cheese, but avoiding the rock-hard, barely cooked cauly that is so fashionable these days. Don't overdo the Nutmeg until you have tried the recipe as given - it's easy to smother the other flavours!

i do this for people who don't like cauliflower. I love both so I mix it up and the broccoli adds more colour. I used leftover broccoli and cauliflower from Christmas but cooking from fresh is fine. leaving out one and using more of the other is great too

Some of my family members are on the keto diet. My brother showed me how to make this macaroni and cheese substitute and I put my own spin on it. Now we eat this at least two to three times a month. Sometimes we even add broccoli! Bacon, cauliflower, broccoli, cheese. What's better than that?
