directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the frozen cauliflower in a 1 1/2-quart casserole. Add 1/2 cup water. Cover and microwave on high for 7 minutes. Stir and cook another 4 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes. Place in a colander to drain and blot with paper towels to absorb as much moisture as possible.
  • Place the cauliflower in a food processor. Add the sour cream, cream cheese, butter, half the cheese, half the bacon, salt and pepper to processor. Process until contents have the smooth consistency of mashed potatoes.
  • Grease the same casserole used for cooking the cauliflower and pour in the cauliflower mixture.
  • Top with the remaining cheese and crumbled bacon.
  • Bake uncovered 20 minutes at 400º or until lightly browned.

  1. Delicious! My husband said this would satisfy a carb craving for him.
     
  2. This is a wonderful, flavorful lower carb. alternative to mashed potatoes or twice-baked potatoes. It was part of our Thanksgiving feast this year, and it was gobbled up by people who claimed they didn't like cauliflower!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes. Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too! My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much! I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
