How to Make Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole

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 the cauliflower and pat it 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.

Next, dump the cauliflower into the bowl of a food processor.  Add in all the remaining ingredients except for the bacon and half the cheddar cheese.

Pulse the mixture until it's all smooth and creamy.

Pour the mixture into a buttered 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.

Tips for Making Healthy Cauliflower Casserole

• While using a head of cauliflower is fine, buying prepackaged florets can save you time and a little clean up.

• You can change up the flavors of this casserole by swapping the cheddar for pepper jack or colby or any of your favorite melting cheese.
• If you have the extra time, roasting the cauliflower florets adds even more flavor.
• If you love extra spice, add you can add chopped fresh or pickled jalapenos.
• You can add leftover chopped chicken or ham for a complete meal.
