Loaded cauliflower casserole

This past week was one of the most special weeks ever. I got to spend a whole week with my grandpa Maylon. I’ve made him so many different things for breakfast lunch and dinner. He enjoyed it as much as I did. This was one of the many side dishes I made.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into pieces, about 5 cups
  • Sour cream- 1 cup
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, divided- 2 cups
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced, divided
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided ( you can substitute it with turkey bacon)
  • Salt- 1/2 tsp
  • Fresh cracked pepper- 1/4 tsp

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Steam cauliflower until just tender.
  3. Place cauliflower, sour cream, half of the bacon, half of the scallions, half of the cheese in a bowl and salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Transfer to a casserole dish, sprinkle with other half of cheese.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining cheese and scallions and serve hot.
