Loaded Creamy Cauliflower Casserole – Keto and Low Carb

SHARE

All the flavors of a classic loaded baked potato blended with cauliflower and baked with cheddar cheese!

I take fresh cauliflower, along with many of the traditional toppings on a loaded baked potato and transform it into a guiltless Keto friendly side dish.  This loaded creamy cauliflower casserole is smooth with cheesy goodness and of course the bacon takes it to the next level!  You really must make this, it will not disappoint!

One of my husband’s favorite sides is a loaded baked potato.  He’s not on Keto, but he does enjoy the Keto meals that I prepare, so I made this dish for him and he LOVED it!  I must admit, it’s honestly the best cauliflower recipe I’ve made to date.  Yes, it’s THAT good!

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower, cut into small pieces

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

4 slices of uncured bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons grass-fed butter

1 teaspoon garlic salt

Salt and Pepper to taste

Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450F.

Add the cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a paper plate and cook in the microwave for 10 minutes or until tender.  Drain well and pat with paper towels pressing gently to dry.  It’s important to make sure it’s dry so that it doesn’t get watery when you bake it.

Add to the bowl of a food processor.  Add in all the remaining ingredients except for the bacon and half the cheddar cheese.

Pulse until smooth and creamy.

Pour the mixture into a butter baking dish that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray.

Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Top with the crumbled bacon and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
