Loaded Cauliflower (low carb, keto)

This loaded cauliflower, made with butter, sour cream, chives, cheddar cheese and bacon, is the ultimate in low carb comfort food!

Ingredients

• 1 pound cauliflower, cut into florettes

• 6 ounces sour cream

• 1 - 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

• 6 slices cooked bacon, then crumble

• 3 tablespoons chives

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cut the cauliflower into florettes, add 2 tbsp. water, cover and microwave with 2 tablespoons of water for 8 minutes, depending on your microwave, until completely cooked and tender. Drain any excess water and let cauliflower sit uncovered for a minute or two.

Then add the cauliflower to a food processor and blend until cauliflower is fluffy, add the butter, garlic powder, and sour cream and process until it resembles the consistency of mashed potatoes. Remove the mashed cauliflower to a bowl and add most of the chives, saving some to add to the top later. Add half of the cheddar cheese and mix by hand. Season with salt and pepper.

1. Top the loaded cauliflower with the remaining cheese, remaining chives and bacon. Put back into the microwave to melt the cheese or for a better melting experience put in over and broil top until golden brown.
