I made this tonight and we really liked it! We added some Cholula to spice it up a little.
So glad you liked it!
This is delicious! Quick, easy and Keto healthy. Thank you!
So glad you liked it!
It was nice that it was a quick, one dish meal. But it needed more sauciness to it…was kinda dry and a little bland. If I was to make it again, I would make alot of additions to improve it and make more flavourful.
It was good. Didn’t have any sour cream, so I used plain Greek yogurt which is better for me anyway😬 Added Italian seasoning and I’m trying to restrain myself from eating the entire skillet. Definitely making it again!
Yay! So glad you liked it!
Made this tonight as I had a head of fresh cauliflower to use up. Loved it! Fast and tasty. I did double the amount of cream as I didn’t have enough in the pan to melt the cheese and make enough sauce. Will definitely make this again and probably add in mushrooms.
I am so glad you liked it! I am going to have to try it with mushrooms too! 🙂
