Loaded Cauliflower Casserole

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0F.

   Combine cauliflower, butter, and garlic in a microwave safe casserole dish. Microwave for 6 minutes, covered. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Add cooked bacon, heavy cream, and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese to the cauliflower rice. Stir to combine and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

   Place in preheated oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes. When finished, serve with dollops of sour cream and chopped chives.

   Notes:

6. 6

   To use an oven instead of a microwave, cook rice in the oven for 6 minutes instead of the microwave.

7. 7

   I used my method for cooking bacon in the oven (see my TK recipe box) to get the bacon crispy. You could also use bacon bits.
