Notes
When using frozen cauliflower rice you will have a lot more liquid in the pan and will need to simmer longer than if using fresh cauliflower rice. We like Costco's organic frozen cauliflower rice and Trader Joe's fresh cauliflower rice. Some brands of frozen cauliflower rice are not great and turn to mush because they are so fine in texture.

This had a great flavor! We used frozen cauliflower rice from Sam’s Club and thawed it a little first. That said, I simmered and simmered and couldn’t get the sauce to thicken up. I think I will do the fresh rice next time. We added mushrooms as well.
How long did you simmer it? If it’s frozen it could take at least 10 more minutes.
Looks tasty! Question – you mention “1/2 heavy cream” without the unit of measurement. Could you add the unit of measurement? Thanks!
Sorry! It’s 1/2 cup heavy cream.
