The Struggle is Real.

Twice Baked Cauliflower Casserole

Hello again! Tasty Tuesday! This week during meal prep I made this yummy and super easy Twice Baked Cauliflower Casserole that I found on Keto Karma. If you read my last post, I decided I needed to kick things up a notch because I was getting really bored with my usual meal prep. In fear of succumbing to the boredom and eating off track, I thought I should start putting in a little more work when it came to my meal prep.

Ingredients:
  • 1 large cauliflower
  • 4 oz. full fat cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
  •  6 slices of bacon
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup full fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder / or 1-2 cloves of fresh pressed garlic.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • To make this recipe extra creamy, add 1 tbs of heavy whipping cream when adding ingredients, this will add 11 calories per serving to the macros listed
​
Directions:
  1. Fry 6 pieces of bacon. (Tip: You can use bacon bits if you're in a hurry!)
  2. Cut out stem and core from cauliflower, and chop into small pieces

 5.  In a large mixing bowl add cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, parmesan cheese and 4 pieces of chopped fully cooked bacon. (Add optional heavy whipping cream for a creamier consistency)
 6.  Drain cauliflower well, then pour over top of the ingredients in large mixing bowl.
 7.  The recipe calls for you to mash with potato masher/mixing whisk, until the consistency is to your liking. I wanted mine to be creamy and more of a uniform consistency so I put mine in the food processor.

  8. Spread evenly in a medium-sized (8x8) casserole dish.
  9.  Top with cheddar cheese and two pieces of chopped bacon.
 10. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350F/180C or until the cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped green onion before serving.

The first night of my meal prep I paired my casserole with some marinated broiled chicken and green beans. Tonight I will pair it with a Cheeseburger Casserole. Stay tuned for that! KCKO!
