Save for later!

This Cheesy Cauliflower With Bacon is low-carb comfort food at its finest! Think Mac & Cheese (or “KD,” as we call it up here 🙂 ) ooey, gooey goodness with out any of the carbs!

Cheesy Cauliflower With Bacon makes an amazing side dish to wings, steak, burgers, or any other S meat. Or, if you’re craving a bowl of Mac & Cheese, you can enjoy a bowl or this on its own. It will fill you up without crossing fuels!

You don’t need any special ingredients for this recipe:

If you don’t have riced cauliflower, or can’t find it, you can easily make your own for this recipe by running half a head of fresh cauliflower through a food processor or blender, or even a cheese grater.

I took the fast route by steaming my riced cauliflower in the microwave, but you can also do it in a saucepan on the stove. Just remember to drain it well once its tender.

Keep in mind that this dish is quite calorie-dense with all the different cheeses in it, so it’s best enjoyed responsibly and saved for occasional use.

Yield: 8 servings

    • I was looking for side dishes earlier today to go with ribs and ran across this recipe. I had to try it! I am glad I did. This was a new keto way to make cauliflower. I enjoyed it very much, with all the cheese and bacon, what more could you ask for? Thank you for sharing this recipe.

  2. Our family enjoyed this for Christmas dinner. It was very delicious. I steamed a head of cauliflower until tender. Then I chopped it with my hand chopper until riced. Once assembled I baked this in a 9×13 glass dish.
