A comforting and creamy keto-friendly cauliflower casserole loaded with crispy bacon and a blend of cheeses, perfect for quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chives or green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry to avoid sogginess.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop into small pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss well so every piece gets coated in the creamy mixture.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and half of the chopped bacon.
  7. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the remaining bacon on top.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking.
  10. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving.

Notes

Pat cauliflower dry to avoid soggy casserole. Crisp bacon separately for best texture. Use full-fat dairy for creaminess. Broil for last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness but watch carefully to avoid burning. Avoid overcooking cauliflower to keep some texture.
