Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 (20 ounce) bags frozen cauliflower
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons bacon bits
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a large, square baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2
Put cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in microwave oven until tender, about 6 minutes.

Step 3
Blend cauliflower in a food processor until smooth; add sour cream, yogurt, and butter and process again until smooth.

Step 4
Mix blended cauliflower mixture in a bowl with 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, bacon bits, chives, garlic, and black pepper; spread into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining Cheddar cheese.

Step 5
Bake in preheated oven on the middle rack until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Switch oven to 'broil' and continue baking until the top is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Cook’s Note:

Great to add 1/2 cup caramelized onions into mixture for great flavoring.
