LOADED CAULIFLOWER “MASH” BAKE
My new favorite thing to use in just about any of my meals is cauliflower rice. I love mixing it with vegetables and any kind of protein. There are so many incredible ways to add this to your meal plan all while lowering your carb intake.
I found this recipe online from skinny taste (one of my favorite places to go for delicious healthy meal ideas) and I had to try it. It’s incredible and the whole family loves it which isn’t always an easy task.
Ingredients
- 4 slices center cut bacon
- 6 cups cauliflower florets
- 3 cloves crushed garlic
- 1/3 cup 1% buttermilk
- 1 tbls whipped butter
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- Pinch black pepper for taste
- 2 tbls minced fresh chives, divided
- 1/4 cup shredded reduced fat shredded cheddar
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp; set aside on a paper towel then crumble.
Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil and add cauliflower and garlic. Boil until the cauliflower is soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, and return to the pot.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Add the buttermilk, butter, salt and pepper to the cauliflower and purée with a hand blender. If you don’t own a hand blender, a regular blender would work fine as well. Mix in 1 tbsp of the chives
and transfer to 4 individual casseroles (3/4 cups each) or one 8 x 8 casserole dish and top with cheddar and crumbled bacon. Bake in the oven until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes then top with remaining chives.
