Don't Sweat The Recipe

Loaded Cauliflower Mash Casserole is the perfect swap out for twice baked potatoes. It’s unbelievably tasty and full of the loaded baked potato flavors you crave! Are you low carb? We are trying to be after the heavy holiday eating. This loaded cauliflower mash casserole is too good to be low carb! If you’ve never tried it you are missing out. You don’t even have to be on a keto diet to enjoy this dish, just ask my husband.

Loaded Cauliflower Mash Casserole

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Core the cauliflower and dice into small pieces. Cook the cauliflower in large pot of boiling salted water until tender 15-20 minutes. Drain well and mash with a potato masher or hand mixer, I leave some small chunks for a little texture.

Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, Parmesan, butter, salt, pepper, and 3/4 of the bacon into the warm mashed cauliflower.

Spread the cauliflower mixture evenly into an 8×8 casserole dish, sprinkle with the cheddar cheese and reserved bacon.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

This is a great way to get picky eaters to eat their vegetables! And also trick your husband to eat lower carb. I can’t tell you how much he raved about this dish and said he would eat it over and over.

My daughter (the pescatarian) also loves this dish so when I make it I separate a couple of portions sans the bacon and bake in a separate dish.
