Low-Carb Loaded Cauliflower Casserole If I could eat a loaded baked potato ever…
Low-Carb Loaded Cauliflower Casserole If I could eat a loaded baked potato every day I totally would. Theres something so fulfilling about a fluffy potato stuffed with cheese and bacon (and it probably doesnt hurt that its topped with even more cheese). While a lot of the ingredients I use to stuff loaded potatoes are Keto-friendly the potatoes themselves definitely arent. They might be a vegetable but boy do they ever contain a lot of carbohydrates! So I turned to my trusty swap-in when it comes to creating healthier versions of my favorite comfort classics: cauliflower. This Low-Carb Loaded Cauliflower Casserole will definitely satisfy your cravings for comfort food without packing on the calories. In addition to being low in carbohydrates cauliflower is just all-around good for you. Its full of antioxidants to help fight off cancer-causing free-radicals it has a ton of vitamin C and K and its chock-full of fiber to keep you feeling full for hours. Using cauliflower in this recipe isnt just about amping up the nutrition or tasting great either. The best thing about this recipe is that it only takes 30 minutes to pull it all together and the prep is super simple. Thats awesome for busy weeknights when it seems impossible to put a healthy dinner on the table. One Dish Two Different Results I love creating recipes that can easily be turned into two different meals. This Low-Carb Loaded Cauliflower Casserole is no different! You can make this recipe one of two ways. The recipe below tells you how to do it the first way (which happens to be the easier way). But Ill also explain how you can take this recipe and turn it into your new favorite mashed cauliflower dish. Our recipe steps below tell you how to do it the easiest way. Youll cut the cauliflower into small florets and bake them until theyre tender-crisp before loading em up with the toppings. This doesnt exactly give you the illusion of potatoes because the florets will hold their shape and form. But youll get a ton of chewy texture and delicious flavor! Because this method also happens to be a one-pot meal it makes cleanup that much easier. Since Im all about a quick-and-easy meal this method is my recommendation for weeknight dinners. How To Turn This Dish Into Loaded Mashed Cauliflower For those of you who are reallyreallycraving some mashed potatoes theres a second option. But Ill warn you: It requires the use of extra pots and pans so clean-up will take longer. Instead of following the first few steps of the recipe steam your cauliflower florets first. You can do this in the microwave by adding a few tablespoons of water to a microwave safe bowl. Nuke it for 5-8 minutes depending on your microwave. Or you can steam the florets the old-fashioned way on the stovetop. Once your cauliflower is completely tender add it to the food processor and pulse it until its super fluffy. Then proceed to step 4 by combining the Greek yogurt lemon juice and cheddar cheese mixture (saving the chopped bacon until later). Add that mixture to the cauliflower and pulse until the mixture resembles mashed potatoes. Fold in the bacon and proceed with the remaining steps. Congratulations you just made a Keto-friendly mashed potato substitute! However you choose to make it this Low-Carb Loaded Cauliflower Casserole is absolutely delicious. It makes a great stand-alone meal for lunch or dinner or you can use it as a vegetable side. The whole family will love it and it might turn into that Thanksgiving side dish that everyone begs you to make every year! {Tara Schupner:http://schema.org@type:Recipedescription:Yield: 8 Servings | Serving Size: about 1 cup | Calories: 163 | Total Fat: 13 g | Saturated Fat: 5 g | Trans Fat: 0 g | Carbohydrates: 5 g | Fiber: 1 g | Sugar: 2 g | Protein: 8 g | Cholesterol: 24 mg | Sodium: 230 mg | SmartPoints (Freestyle): 4rn image:https://skinnyms.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Low-Carb-Loaded-Cauliflower-Casserole-Dinner.jpgrecipeIngredient:[1 large head Cauliflower (about 1-pound) cut into small floretsr2 tablespoons olive oilr1/4 teaspoon kosher saltr1/4 teaspoon garlic powderr1/8 teaspoon ground black pepperr1 cup Greek yogurtr1 tablespoon lemon juicer1 cup grated cheddar cheeser2 slices bacon cooked and crumbledr1 green onion chopped]name:Low-Carb Loaded Cauliflower CasserolerecipeInstructions:[Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. rPlace the cauliflower florets in an 88 baking dish.
