How to make keto loaded cauliflower recipe:
First, preheat the oven and spray the 8×8 baking pan with cooking spray. I needed a new pan so I ordered this white baking dish.
Second, cut the cauliflower into small bite size pieces so you can steam it. See How to Cut Cauliflower into Florets. The cauliflower needs to be fork tender.
I like to do this in the microwave by putting the cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl with water. It only takes a few minutes. I suggest heating in increments and checking to see if the veggie is the right tenderness.
This can also be done on the stovetop if you prefer.
Next, get a large mixing bowl out and combine the sour cream and cream cheese mixture. Make sure everything is really well combined.
Now, stir in all the yummy shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions and seasonings.
Lastly, very gently add the cauliflower until it is coated in the mixture. Pour into the baking dish and top with the leftover cheese and bacon.
Bake until the cheese is melted and ooey gooey. Yum!
