Why This Cauliflower Casserole Recipe Works

I love this Cauliflower Casserole recipe because I can make it ahead and bake it during the week or make it and freeze it for later. I also feel like I am sneaking a good vegetable into my families diet.

How to Make Loaded Cauliflower Casserole – Step by Step

  • First, boil cauliflower for 8-10 minutes or until fork tender; drain.
  • Next, in a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, half of the bacon, 3 tablespoons green onions, 1/2 cup colby cheese, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, House Seasoning blend and cauliflower and mushrooms.
  • Then, pour into 13×9 baking dish and top with remaining bacon, green onions and cheeses.
  • Finally, bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese melts.

Why Make this Loaded Cauliflower Casserole?

This Loaded Cauliflower Casserole features the amazing low carbohydrate vegetable that according to WEBMD offers  100% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C and a quarter of your daily vitamin K.

It’s also a good source of fiber but to me, it just tastes amazing and I could eat it every day.

Tips for Making this Cauliflower Casserole Recipe

If you want to kick up the flavor of this Loaded Cauliflower Casserole recipe, try roasting the cauliflower first. It really can intensify the flavor. If you had the time to take this extra step, you will really love it.

Just toss the cauliflower with the olive oil, garlic, and House Season Blend on a baking sheet; Roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes.

    What is the individual serving size – 1/2 cup or 1 cup? Are the nutritional amounts for the 6 servings? Love the recipe and will make it more often.
    Thank you….

      I’m so glad you like the recipe! The entire casserole serves six – the nutritional info isn’t per cup of half cup, it’s for each of the 6 servings.
