Loaded Caulifower Bake

Let me start by saying, I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL COOK and you know I typically don’t have much time to cook. So anything made easy, I’m on it. Many of you may know me as the crockpot queen but I can also make a mean one pan meal. Right now during quarantine I am focusing a low carb, high protein meal plan (not a diet, lifestyle changes). I am cutting out most meat, although I treated myself to a little bacon, for this meal :) The Lord is still working on me.

My favorite recipe inspiration site is Pinterest! I found this bomb, “Loaded Cauliflower Casserole Bake.” So  I decided to make a Kroger run and pick up all the ingredients I needed. It’s really simple and most things you probably have in your refrigerator already.

Ingredients all found at my local Kroger:

• 2 bags of steam ready Kroger cauliflower
• Heavy Cream
• Sour Cream
• Cheddar Cheese (I decided to split the recipe and add Smoked Gouda) Because i'm fancy :)
• Green Onions
• Minced Garlic
• 2-3 slices of Bacon (you can use turkey)
• Seasonings - I like use Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning

Let's Make Magic!
​

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Microwave bacon
3. Microwave 2 bags of cauliflower
4. Shred 4oz cheddar cheese, 4oz smoked gouda
5. Chop green onions
6. In a mixing bowl mix 1/4 cup heavy cream and 2/3 cup sour cream
7. Add in seasonings, half of cheese and green onion and 2 tablespoons of garlic
8. Fold in the 2 bags of cauliflower
9. Transfer mixture into an oven safe pan
10. Add the remainder of cheese and green onions
11. Bake for 5-10 minutes, I like to remove when the cheese browns
12. Serve hot, sprinkle bacon pieces on top
13. Enjoy!
