Cooking MethodCasserole

Ingredients

2 pounds cauliflower
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 1/2 cup 2% fat shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
3 green onions, thinly sliced
2 strips thick bacon, coarsely chopped
salt and fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

To Make the Casserole

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
In a non-stick fry pan, cook the bacon until crisp, then drain well on paper towels and chop coarsely.
Cut core out of the cauliflower and chop into small florets. Bring a large pot with 3-inches of water to a boil. Place cauliflower into a steamer basket and cook, covered, over the boiling water for about 10 minutes or until very soft.
In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese, half of the green onions, and half of the bacon. Add the cooked cauliflower and toss well. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and spoon into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake about 25 minutes until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with remaining green onion and bacon. Serve warm.

Yum! I make a variation of this recipe using half broccoli and half cauliflower. Instead of using sour cream, I substitute zero fat Greek yogurt, which I find works really well. I add chopped bacon and sometimes I switch it up with chopped ham if that is what I have on hand.

I didn't know I liked cauliflower until I tried this. Seriously. It always intimidated me. But I loved the flavor in this casserole. However, next time, I wouldn't include the bacon. It just didn't go with the cauliflower and added an unwelcome crunch to an otherwise creamy dish.

I love cauliflower in pretty much any form, and this casserole is no exception. I love how it's reminiscent of a loaded baked potato, but oh, so much healthier. I don't miss the carbs or heaviness one bit!
