How To Make loaded cauliflower casserole

  • Step 1
    Steam the cauliflower until fork tender; approximately 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander.
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until creamy and smooth. Gently stir in cauliflower, 1/2 of the bacon, and chives. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Step 4
    Spoon into a casserole dish and top with the remaining bacon. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Top with remaining chives and serve.
