Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large head Cauliflower ((cut into small florets))
2 tbsp Unsalted butter ((melted))
Sea salt
Black pepper
2/3 cup Sour cream
1/4 cup Heavy cream
2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese ((shredded, divided))
6 tbsp Bacon bits ((cooked, divided))
1/4 cup Green onions ((chopped, divided))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with butter. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a small 1.5 quart (1.4 L) casserole dish in a single layer. (Line the pan unless it's glass or stoneware. If there's too much cauliflower to fit in a single layer, roast on a larger baking sheet instead.) Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until crisp-tender.
  • Meanwhile, in the same bowl, whisk together the sour cream and heavy cream, until smooth. Stir in the minced garlic, half of the cheddar cheese, half of the bacon bits, and half of the green onions. If desired, season sauce with sea salt and black pepper. (Don't oversalt - it will get more salty as the cheese melts later.)
  • When the cauliflower is done roasting, take it out and leave the oven on. Add the cauliflower to the bowl and mix with the sauce.
  • Return the cauliflower mixture to the casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and bacon bits.
  • Bake for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese melts. Top with remaining green onions.

EASY CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE



Easy Cauliflower Casserole image

Loaded with cheese and covered with breadcrumbs, your kids just might confuse this Easy Cauliflower Casserole with their favorite Baked Macaroni and Cheese recipe. Lucky for you, not only is this version loaded with veggies instead of pasta, it also makes the most of your pantry staples. Grab the cooking spray, panko, and can of cream of chicken soup, and you're practically halfway there. Don't have cream of chicken? Any "cream of" soup will do the trick. Try cream of celery to mix things up. Ready in just 45 minutes, this is the ultimate weeknight casserole, though it makes a statement at any potluck supper too. For a party-ready touch, add a dash of parsley to your casserole as soon as you pull it out of the oven. It's the ultimate way to dress up the golden panko topping if you're making and taking for a special occasion.
