Introduction

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:

Cauliflower is very low in carbs, and this should be a good dish for most any low-carb eating plans, including Keto. For the South Beach Diet it’s probably a once-in-a-while treat due to the amount of saturated fat, although you can make a more South Beach friendly version with light cream cheese, light sour cream, low-fat cheese, and even turkey bacon if you prefer, and it will still be delicious.

Ingredients

    8 cups Cauliflower boiled (1 large head)
    4 oz Cream Cheese
    1/2 cup Sour Cream
    1/4 cup minced green onions
    1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
    6 Slices Bacon (fried)
    1 cup Colby and Monterrey Jack Cheese (shredded)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Spray a glass casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Cut out stem and core from cauliflower, and cut into small pieces. Cook in large pot of boiling salted water until cauliflower is tender, but not overly soft. Drain well and mash with potato masher, leaving some chunks.

2. While cauliflower is cooking, cook the bacon and crumble, slice green onions, cube the cream cheese, measure sour cream, and measure Parmesan. Mix cream cheese, sour cream, green onion, Parmesan, and 3/4 of the crumbled bacon into the mashed cauliflower.

3. Spread evenly in a 1.5 Quart Glass Casserole Dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and resmaining bacon. Bake 20-25 minutes covered, or until hot and bubbly. Remove the lid and bake about 10 minutes more, or until the cheese is slightly browned. Serve hot.
