LOW-CARB LOADED BAKED CAULIFLOWER
Need a low-carb side dish? Well, this is a fantastic cauliflower one. It's super hearty and creamy. The cheese sauce and bacon bits really do make this taste like a baked potato casserole.

Steps:
- 1. Steam cauliflower florets in about 1/2 inch of water in a covered dish in the microwave about 6 minutes or until slightly tender. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. While cauliflower steams, melt butter over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepot. Lightly saute onion for 1-2 minutes, until soft.
- 3. Slowly pour in 1 cup heavy whipping cream.
- 4. Add Dijon mustard, stirring the mixture well. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent scorching.
- 5. Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar, stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- 6. Stir in bacon pieces, salt, and pepper.
- 7. Drain cauliflower. Add cauliflower and stir to coat.
- 8. Pour into a buttered or olive-oil coated 2-quart casserole dish.
- 9. Dust the top with crushed pork rinds. (No need to butter the pork rinds as their natural oils will brown and crisp them nicely.)
- 10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly. If the top begins to over-brown, you may cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- 11. If desired, garnish with chopped scallions (green onions). Serve hot.
