This healthy cauliflower casserole is a delicious twist and a tasty alternative to a twice-baked potato.
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 ½ cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup bacon bits (such as Hormel®)
- ½ (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese
- ½ cup low-fat sour cream
- ¼ cup minced green onions
- 3 tablespoons butter
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 3
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until tender, but not overly soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Drain well and transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash cauliflower, leaving some chunks.
Step 5
Reserve 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon bacon bits. Mix remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese, remaining bacon bits, cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, butter, salt, and pepper into mashed cauliflower in the bowl.
Step 6
Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle reserved Cheddar cheese and bacon bits on top. Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes.
