Description

A comforting casserole with tender cauliflower enveloped in creamy cheese and crispy bacon, perfect for gatherings or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Steam until fork-tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
  4. Combine the steamed cauliflower, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and half of the cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Stir in the crumbled bacon and half of the green onions.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Garnish with remaining green onions and serve warm.

Notes

For a leaner option, use turkey bacon or different cheeses for unique flavors. Can be made ahead of time and baked later.
