A Must-Try Recipe: Twice-Baked Cauliflower Casserole Keto Recipe

I’ve toyed with the Keto lifestyle off an on for the last few years before it became the thing to do, but after I watched my mom say goodbye to a diabetes diagnoses because of it, I decided I wanted to dig in and try it again.

Most importantly… before we go any further… I am NOT on a diet! I don’t believe in diets – I believe in living a healthy lifestyle.

I’ve been looking for a meal plan to follow, because I just prefer to have someone do it for me versus doing it myself. I stumbled upon Simply Keto and Suzanne Ryan, the founder of Keto Karma, actually provides a 30-day meal plan with recipes included. I love the simplicity of it. And she doesn’t provide a new recipe for dinner each day. Many times you’ll have yesterday’s dinner for lunch tomorrow.

I actually made this twice-baked cauliflower casserole recipe having no idea how much food it would actually make. I lived off of it most of the week, along with some chicken thighs.

Ryan says of the recipe,

Twice-baked cauliflower is a play on words, as its ingredients mimic those in a twice-baked potato. This recipe is the epitome of home-cooked comfort food, and it’s on a weekly rotation in our house. I hope you love it as much as we do!

I posted a picture online and y’all requested the recipe, so here goes it…

Instructions:

1. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, allow to cool, and then chop.
2. Core the cauliflower and chop the florets into small pieces.
3. In a large pot of boiling salted water, boil the cauliflower until soft. 15 to 18 minutes for a chunkier texture or 20 to 22 minutes for a super-smooth texture.
4. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and two-thirds of the bacon.
5. Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
6. Drain the cauliflower well, then pour the cauliflower over the cream cheese mixture in a bowl. Mash with a potato masher or whisk until the consistency is to your liking. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
7. Spread the cauliflower mixture evenly in an 8-inch square casserole dish. Top with the cheddar cheese and remaining bacon.
8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
