Twice-Baked Cauliflower Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 large head cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits (such as Hormel®)
  • 1/2 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
  • 1/4 cup minced green onions
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary items for preparation.
2
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook until they reach your desired level of tenderness, but avoid overcooking, 3 to 5 minutes.
4
Carefully pour the water into a large container and transfer the cauliflower to it. Utilize a masher or a similar tool to crush the cauliflower, leaving some of its natural texture intact.
5
Set aside 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of bacon bits. Combine the remaining 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, the reserved bacon bits, softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, melted butter, salt, and pepper into the mashed cauliflower mixture.
6
Transfer the combined mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved Cheddar cheese and bacon bits evenly on top. Bake in the preheated oven until it reaches a hot, bubbly consistency, 30 to 35 minutes.
