I love potatoes, as I’ve previously stated on here before. Every kind. Fries. Tots. Hash browns. Potato cakes. You name it. However, I don’t miss any of them as much as I miss a good ole loaded baked potato to go with my steaks, chicken or barbeque! My husband and I were missing it a lot until I did this recipe.
Loaded Cauliflower Casserole
A great low carb alternative to those loaded baked potato cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- 3/4 cup Sour Cream
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tsp Garlic minced
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 6 strips Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup Green Onion chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°.
-
Break cauliflower into florets into a bowl.
-
Drizzle olive oil over florets and mix to coat with oil.
-
Salt and pepper florets to taste.
-
Turn cauliflower onto a baking sheet.
-
Bake cauliflower florets for 25 minutes until fork tender.
-
Remove cauliflower from oven.
-
Lower oven to 350°.
-
Stir together sour cream and heavy cream until well blended.
-
Stir in garlic, 3/4 cup of the cheese, bacon pieces and onions.
-
Stir cauliflower into mixture and then put cauliflower mix into a casserole dish.
-
Top cauliflower with remaining 1 1/4 cup of cheese.
-
Bake 25 minutes or until cheese melted or bubbly on top.
Recipe Notes
- I prefer sharp cheddar cheese.
- You can use lower fat cheese or sour cream to lower calories and fat. It isn’t quite the same, but you know your dietary needs best.
- I could pretty much eat this whole casserole myself.
- You can do a lot of what you do with back potatoes with this i.e. add steamed broccoli or barbecued meat, etc.
I need to give a shout out to Maya Krampf over at Wholesome Yum that did give me the idea. There are differences in our recipes, but you should check hers out too! Easy Cheesy Loaded Cauliflower Recipe.
