Getting kids to eat their veggies can feel like a daily challenge but this Hidden Veggie Mac N’ Cheese is a total game-changer. Inspired by a recipe from Yummy Toddler Food, this creamy, cheesy favorite sneaks in nutritious vegetables without sacrificing the comfort and flavor kids love. Whether you’re feeding picky eaters or just looking to boost veggie intake, this recipe is a must-try for any nanny’s meal rotation.
You Will Need:
Pot
Blender
½ cup cauliflower florets
½ cup sweet potato (peeled and cubed)
½ cup milk
¾ cup grated yellow cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
8 ounces pasta
What to Do:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the cauliflower and sweet potato and cook for about 10 minutes or until soft when poked with a fork. Use a large slotted spoon to transfer the veggies to a blender, draining off all the liquid.
3. Add the milk, cheese, butter, salt, and garlic powder, if using, to the blender with the veggies and puree until completely smooth.
4. Meanwhile, bring the water back to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot.
5. Stir in the cheese sauce, season to taste with additional salt, if needed, and serve warm.
